What travellers are saying
- Brenda SWinnipeg, Canada108 contributionsIt’s no word of a lie the views are out of this world. And so is the wind ….. hold onto your hat, gloves, and purse. The view of the whole of St. John’s is just amazing you’re sooooo far up. Everything looks so small including the Coast Guard Ships ships. Amazing. Drive up if you have mobility issues, it is a steep climb in some spots.Written December 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David B4 contributionsThis is a must see for a few
Good reasons.
First, the historic happenings here are astounding. I never heard anything regarding the goings on here during WW 2.

Second, the ocean waves crashing along the rugged coast line is fantastic. You haven’t seen waves till you’ve seen them here.
The only drawback was the parks Canada bathrooms and cafe were closed. Unbelievable!Written October 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brenda SWinnipeg, Canada108 contributionsThis was absolutely crazy. Started out nice and easy and got progressively steeper as he went on. The wind was incredible. I had to hang onto my hat the whole time. This December was quite unusual. Here. It is the 19th and we were able to do the trail from start to finish the views the views the views incredible.
