High Cliff Trail
A number of stacked loops totalling 11km meander through the forest adjacent to St. Nora Lake. This trail system offers a little bit of everything, from millennia old geological formations which give insight into the last significant ice age, to large bogs, towering cliff faces, mixed forests, challenging climbs and spectacular lookouts. Be sure to pack lunch and your camera because you can spend an entire day exploring these trails.
The High Cliff trail seems to be less busy than the other trails at the Frost Centre. I suspect this is because the first little bit is a very steep switchback, which discourages casual walkers and those with children. The views aren't great (this was the best), but the relative peace and quiet were well worth a few minutes of hard climbing!
This 360° High Dynamic Range panorama was stitched from 64 bracketed photographs with PTGUI Pro, tone-mapped with Photomatix, processed with Color Efex, then touched up on Aperture.
