Great Cycle Challenge Point Peele National Park episode #6

Is at the southernmost point of the Canadian mainland. I cycled, but you can paddle, or hike Canada’s second smallest and most ecologically diverse national park as well.

Point Peele. Because there were so many tourists the day Dax and I arrived, I decided not to take the tram to see the point nor walk there because it was just too hot for Dax.

There is a wonderful article about the Monarch Butterflies of Peele Point on their website.

This was just past the visitors gate. We took a break at this little kiosk in the cool shade of the forest, checked all our gear and continued on to the visitors centre

Bike path through Point Peele National Park

The road that leads into the park has traffic. But most vehicles are driving slow and are respectful of giving space to cyclists while passing. If you head towards the point, the road eventually is closed to all cars and only foot and bike traffic is allowed. There are several old log cabins in the park that have been set up like mini museums for you to walk through to get an idea of how the settlers lived here..
