| Comments: |
Trails up the Asticou Terrace are amazing; steps, terraces, kiosks, etc. Thuya Garden ($5 cash donation) is also quite a sight (as is the nearby Asticou Garden). One can access trails to Eliot from either inside the garden or just below it on the access road.
Not much in way of views on Eliot, though there was a slight directional view from a memorial a few tenths south of the summit. A few more trails in actuality than show up on the standard maps. Markings not always great (missing signs, different names, etc.). Apart from the gardens, did not see anyone on the trails. |
