The entrance from the paved road was recently cleared back and it is easier to identify the trailhead. Look for a set of four marker ribbons, three blue, one orange. You can start to spot them about 50 meters away. This is a challenging unmarked trial, typically not for beginners. Hikers are rewarded with some spectacular views of Aspy Bay and surrounding geography. Well worth the effort. Roadside parking only, moderately safe by roadside standards, safer to park on the oceanside of the road opposite to the trailhead. Vehicles have to slow down at a turn just before the trailhead and have enough time to identify a parked vehicle coming out of the the turn.

Other reviews aren’t joking, this isn’t easy. But it is rewarding. One of the best views I’ve seen yet. It is a steep trail and hard to find there’s no sign, but look for an orange rock right at where it says on google maps for the trailhead. Writing this at the top. What a view. P.S. whoever is reading this and going up after October 2023 being a small notebook for the trail logbook please, need a new one up here :)

Entrance is a little further north than Google Maps says, on opposite side of road. North of the 55km/hr sign about 200 meters. I got out of my car and walked to finally spot it. A bit overgrown, but as soon as you walk through 3 meters ,you're in the forest and it's better.

View was great at the top, but the climb was definitely steep! The trail is marked by a red rock like mentioned by other reviewers. There is a short section near the beginning that is a little overgrown and has downed trees (but the path remains quite obvious), worry not, the path widens again as soon as you get back into the forest. The trail also narrows near the summit. There is also a fork at the summit, if you go left, you get the trail log book and the...
