Gets crazy busy because this lookout is within the first 15 min of the hike

Never go there on any national holidays, if you’re lucky enough to find parking then the part of the trail going to the lookout is lousy with people, Tim Hortons cups and dog poo

We go in late fall and winter to avoid the people. You just have to be extra cautious at the top.

I love hiking there in the winter, it’s so serene. Fall and spring I get around the crowds by parking on the other side of the mountain and coming up on the lookout from the other side

Ya, we should do that next time. The front parking lot is nuts.

Most people don’t know about the other side, also the hike is a little tougher because it’s a good deal longer and starts right off the bat with climbing up the backside of Manitou Mountain.
