After a short but demanding climb, the summit opens onto a massive slab of exposed rock overlooking Thunder Bay and Lake Superior. It’s a true panoramic viewpoint, with the city below and the Sleeping Giant visible across the water on clear days. There’s plenty of space to sit or even have a picnic, but it’s exposed and often windy, so wear appropriate layers before heading up.
