Rowntree Green Space is in the seaside community of the Highlands, one of thirteen communities that form the Capital Regional District of British Columbia. This green space parallels a hydro line access road that permits access into the amazing tranquility of the Highlands. The natural rough trail is from Rowntree Road at the junction with Viart Road. The pathway leads to the Gowlland-Tod Park. Signage at the junction of Rowntree Road with Finlayson Arm Road shows that the Caleb Pike trail head is 1.4 km one way. The trail is a peaceful stroll among the Douglas-fir and arbutus trees. A rown tree, or European mountain ash, is a short deciduous tree with pinnate leaves that was introduced from Eurasia. Its fruit is red and forms clusters. No such trees were noted in the area. Goldsteam Provincial Park has a trail that leads up Finlayson Mountain that is nearby.
