Directions
Take the Prest Road Exit (exit 123) off Hwy 1. Go south along Prest Road, where it will take you up the hill towards Promontory Heights.
Your first left as you head up the hill is Jinkerson Road. Turn left at Jinkerson and follow it til you get to Falcon Heights and take a right. Stairs to the trail are immediately to your right, or go straight up the hill and park near the gravel.
Details
A lovely little trail that runs through low level deciduous forest and small meadows. A few older coniferous trees can be found along the trail as well. The trail winds it's way round the mountain to the eastern side, where it eventually joins up with the Mt. Thom Park trail from Churchill Parkway. The summit views are to the west and a bit southwest. Makes ofr a nice afternoon stroll.
