Views From Radar Hill In Pacific Rim National Park






After chillin' at Long Beach for a little while we did a small hike around Radar Hill. This lookout used to be an old cold war radar station, but is now a wonderful vantage point where you can view the surrounding area.

It is also a Korean War memorial for the heroic Canadians of 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia's Light Infantry who called in artillery fire on their own positions as they were being over ran by Communists in the battle of Kap'yong.

The dismantled radar station and war memorial only augments the peacefulness that pervades this nice view.
