   What does Mt Benson look like?

   • Mt Benson's shape is recognizable, even iconic to enthusiasts like myself. When you approach Nanaimo from the south (e.g., Ladysmith), the mountain's ridgeline is sharply conical, seen on-end. But from Central/North Nanaimo the mountain sprawls along half the sky - a long wall of forest-carpeted bluffs!
