Radar Hill
The former site of a Cold War radar station, reachable by car to the summit, with 360-degree views over the Clayoquot Sound islands and the Pacific.
Radar Hill rises about 120 meters. An air force radar station stood here in the 1950s, and it is now a national park viewpoint. At the summit stands the Kap'yong memorial, honoring Canadian veterans of the Korean War. From the Pacific coast road, turn onto a short, steep paved road to reach the parking lot, then walk a few minutes to the viewing platform. Visibility is excellent on clear days, but on foggy days you can barely see anything. A park day pass is required.
