Bestwick Hill is a rocky knob of a hill overlooking Campbell Range.   If there were no fences in the area, it would be fast hike from the Campbell Range Road.   Indeed, the shortest route is a side road just under the peak.   Hikers could park at the gate (at N50 35.860 W120 06.447). This used to be called Coster Road, but now signs say private property. There are no homes beyond the fence, but hikers will have to decide to take this short route or the much longer one described here. The route we have used instead is from the Robbins Creek Road. Not far past the route to Buse Hill is a double track leading west (at N 50° 35.364 W 120° 01.577). This double track branches many times, but we just keep heading northwest until we are on top of the ridge.   From the ridge we aim north past a pond, then we scramble up the rock bands to the top.   This route is about 5km each way.   The top of the hill is at N50 35.752 W120 05.054. There are 360 degree views from the top.   The meadows are particularly nice in the spring when the wildflowers are blooming.

Bestwick Hill falls into the category of “routes.” It is unclear where private property starts and ends in these hills. Depending on your route, you may be crossing fences and the final hill has no trail. Still, it is an interesting spot for an afternoon’s hike on a sunny spring day.
