This is definitely a tougher hike than Pink Lake, though the view from the top is absolutely worth it! This hike is listed as 1.9 kilometres and challenging. The whole route took us about 45 minutes, we ran some of the route, and stopped at the top to take some photos. It definitely is a tough route, the first half is completely uphill, with a lot of stairs as well as hill, and the second half is almost all downhill, with a few stairs.
The trail leads you atop the Eardley Escarpment, where you can see across the river to Ottawa which is pretty neat.

If you're ever in Gatineau Park it's an awesome route to check out, however it is a fairly popular route so it can get quite busy on the weekend, I recommend going early in the morning or during the week.
What's your favourite hiking trail?
Ok so I foolishly tried to find some nice trails in the hills last year. I failed. Completely
