The climb was amazing. I've never climbed anything higher than a hill here in Toronto so I wasn't sure if I could do it but I think I did OK. Took me almost an hour from the gate but I stopped at least half a dozen times to take pictures. The views are amazing. I got caught by a thunder storm but luckily I was still at the base and I found shelter at Santa's Shop The storm cooled down the air so that was actually a good thing. I can't wait to go back next year and do it again!! Oh, for other riders thinking about doing this climb the road toll is $6.

Sunny to this: less than 5 minutes








About 1405m. Elevation gain counting from highway 86 is 1100m.
