This hike made me fall in love with Trinity. You hike up the hill and have a great view over the bay, the village and the open sea further out. Beautiful sight, especially when the sun colors everything in its yellow color. When visiting the Bonavista peninsula, I recommend staying a night or two in Trinity, doing a day trip to Bonavista, but enjoying the evenings in Trinity.

Do not underestimate the short walk for beginner which is just only an hr but the climb is quiet some work…. Once you reach view point, it is totally worth the climb. You will variations of berries along the way but do not take advantage of it unless you know what you are tasting. The vantage view of Trinity village is breath taking! Pack a picnic and enjoy.

An uphill hike but view of the whole town of Trinity is amazing. You can go higher up if wants more view of the ocean and area. Trail starts right past the bank. Only short hike to get the view. We only hiked up to the platform and no need to go further up. Enjoyed a whole half hour just relaxing on the platform!

We walked this trail before supper, an relatively easy walk although steep at the top. Views over trinity and surrounding area are breathtaking and gives you a much better perspective on where the village lies in relation to the surrounding coves

Walked the gun hill trail on a beautiful day in Trinity. You could see clear out into the bay and all the surrounding area. Beautiful views.

The trail head is well marked but the trail is quiet with the best view of Trinity. Very quiet. Do the connecting trails as well. Moderate steepness.

Gunhill trail provides Fantastic views, gets the heart going, and a nice little step away from the summer tourism going on within Trinity (not that it's bad at all but if you like to step away from the crowd...)

Decent, not too strenuous walk up to the top of the hill above Trinity. There are good views across to the Skerwink Trail headland and down to Trinity town. With binoculars you can even see the whales blowing over near the lighthouse.
If you enjoy a walk it's an hour well spent.

The upper gun hill trail is simply amazing! It's quite a lot of walking and walking uphill for the most part but the view is more than worth it. You'll have a 360 degree view from the top of the hill with views of the ocean and the entire town of Trinity. If you're in the area, this is a must!

A manageable walk up to the cemetery on the hill over looking the village. Worth the walk on a clear day.

How long does it take to hike this trail? What are the parking accommodations?
Written July 30, 2016
Hi - It takes about 20 minutes or so. Some sections are a little steep, but otherwise a very pleasant walk. There's parking on the street at the foot of the trail.
