🇨🇦 Newfoundland Adventure: Signal Hill & Historic Trails
🏰 A Perfect Day Unfolds Planned for The Rooms Museum + Signal Hill, capped with dinner in a 200-year-old house—all went magically right! 🚗 Drove up Signal Hill Road under gloomy skies... until we parked at the summit. Clouds parted → instant blue skies! ✨ (Nature’s VIP treatment!) Cabot Tower (1898): Built to honor John Cabot’s 1497 landing + Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee Where Marconi received the first transatlantic radio signal in 1901 📡 🥾 North Head Trail Highlights 1️⃣ Descended from the summit parking lot (far end from Cabot Tower) → jaw-dropping coastal views 🤯 Pro tip: Need a driver to retrieve your car afterward! 2️⃣ Wild blueberries galore! 🫐 (Sweetest trail snack ever) ⚔️ Why Signal Hill Matters 18th–20th century military stronghold (British vs. French battles!) First Morse code reception site → changed global communication 🌍 Sunset panoramas over St. John’s = pure silence, pure awe #SignalHillMagic #NewfoundlandRoadTrip #HistoryAlive
