I wouldn't want to do that hike in the rain either, especially if you had to go down it as well. I do better at going up steep inclines than going down steep declines.

We always say that almost anyone can do it, it just may take a lot longer to do it along with lots of breaks in between.<br /><br />We love walking/hiking so it won't be much of a break. ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-14558933790151849842017-01-28T03:37:34.200-05:002017-01-28T03:37:34.200-05:00This climb isn't for a lot of folks but we sur...This climb isn't for a lot of folks but we sure enjoyed it.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-84529728187897136052017-01-28T03:36:58.578-05:002017-01-28T03:36:58.578-05:00The trail was amazing and we can't understand ...The trail was amazing and we can't understand how they even made it to start with but obviously they did!<br /><br />Their restaurant in Manitoba went by the same name, not sure if they closed it up or if it has been taken over by someone else.

The bigger gun was changed before the second world war though as a smaller one had been in place before that. Actually the big gun at O'Hara's Battery was last used in a training exercises back in 1976.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-13829056716480742772017-01-28T03:29:33.505-05:002017-01-28T03:29:33.505-05:00Yes, making the trail would have been a feat in it...Yes, making the trail would have been a feat in itself. Along the trail there were also gun batteries as well that would have had to have been made by carting everything up hill or down but the stuff at the top, I am sure was brought up by a road. I tried to find out when the roads on the rock were built but haven't really been able to find the info.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-56975356161267057572017-01-28T03:13:04.113-05:002017-01-28T03:13:04.113-05:00Yes, absolutely amazing views!Yes, absolutely amazing views!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-59360185021151892702017-01-28T03:12:23.732-05:002017-01-28T03:12:23.732-05:00It was a gorgeous trail, we really were surprised ...It was a gorgeous trail, we really were surprised at all the plants and flowers along the way to.
