Directions and General Orientation
(25 min walk from parking to Sundial)
THE GREEN TRACK BELOW IS A MIX OF TRAILS
a) Parking – start on “Lover’s Leap” trail
b) After only 30 m or so, when the Lover’s Leap trail turns sharp left up the hill, instead turn right on “La Douce” bike trial.
c) Continue on La Douce (cutting corners as desired) until it meets the snowshoe trail number 17 at a creek crossing. Cross the creek and head up and over the hill. Google Maps link: 45°55'52.4"N, 74°16'23.1"W
d) On the other side of the hill, hop 15 m to the right and continue on the La Suisse (19) ski trail. Google Maps link: 45°55'58.1"N, 74°16'17.5"W
e) Go a short distance on the 19 until a small trail heads left along a rock face – take that walking trail. Google Maps link: 45°56'01.0"N, 74°16'16.7"W
f) When the trail turns left up a hill (which goes up behind Too Far Gone), angle right along the ridge (no trail) to Sundial, which is on the top of the hill above a creek. Google Maps link: 45°56'17.1"N, 74°15'47.4"W
g) Sundial Google Maps link: 45°56'09.1"N, 74°16'10.0"W
h) To get to Sickle Cell, cross the creek and go right on the Lac Green trail for just a few minutes. The bloc is on your left right before a “swamp” crossing. Google Maps link: 45°56'08.9"N 74°16'04.3"W
