North Head Trail - Signal Hill National Historic Site, Parks Canada

This strenuous, challenging, 1.7 km (1 hour) trail is the oldest and most popular trail at Signal Hill that offers fantastic views! Hike along the edge of the North Atlantic through Ross' Valley, a "hanging valley" formed by a glacier during the last ice age. During the summer months, whales, icebergs and seabirds can often be seen. The trail head is located on the ocean side of the parking lot on the Summit of Signal Hill.
