2,200 steps? I’ll wait here 😂 Okay, I googled the park to find out how it got its name. I’ll share the part that I’m hoping doesn’t violate the TH-cam community guidelines or whatever it’s called…. * The place name "Dildo" is attested in this area since at least 1711, though how this came to be is unknown. * There’s lots more but I’ll leave that for the truly curious to find on their own. It’s not hard to find. Parts of what I read had me laughing so hard I’m in pain. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha oh my goodness, thanks so much for sharing this, it had us in stitches, laughing. It is definitely a unique name and as you will see in future video's, Newfoundland is full of interestingly named places.
I used to live in Kings point and the Alexander Murray trail was something I've done many times in school. It's a beautiful place with beautiful weather and people
Your not wrong, the one broken board we showed in the video was one of the very few, the rest were in very good to almost new condition. An impressive amount of work went into constructing this trail.
This hike is on our to do list as we have 5 nights at Brighton . My question was going to be what month was this but you gave the answer signing in the guest book . Thanks for all the time you put in the videos .
Nice park with a tremendous amount of infrastructure on their hiking trails. Just subscribed. Great content and will check out more of your channel. Cheers!!
@@JeffMacCulloughThe East Coast received some brutal weather last year, so much rain then some fires, it was all over the place. Thats what makes it an adventure though.
@@Tents.and.Timber No never! But my family and I are moving back to Newfoundland at the end of June so maybe it warrants a visit! We've lived away from the island for a long time due to my husbands work, so all visits back were family visits but now we have time to check out the places we haven't been to yet, :)
ALERT ALERT.. . .there's more to Newfoundland than Gros Morne and Sin Jawns. Typical. At least the missus pronounced Newfoundland correctly. I guess buddy must be American. 🤣🤣🤣

I’m only 40 minutes from Climax, North Carolina 😎

Oh no way, we truly wish we could have spent more time in that area. It is such a beautiful place.
One of my favorite trials. However if you choose to go right at the fork, it's much easier on the legs.
Thanks for the tip, we will remember that when we visit again!
Very cool trail with all those stairs and waterfall. Cant imagine the upkeep on that boardwalk.

Awesome!, hiked it many times and even worked on the trail years ago doing maintenance.
Oh neat! We are so inspired to have heard from so many people who have helped maintain Newfoundland's trails.
That park will be hard to forget.
😉
Great images.
Thanks mate
Great adventure in Newfoundland.........Take care, Bluefin.
Thanks, it truly was a great adventure. Thanks for stopping by our channel and leaving a comment.
We hopped over to check out your videos. Wow, new bucket list location
You won't be disappointed mate, our only disappointment was that we couldn't stay longer
This hike is on our to do list as we have 5 nights at Brighton . My question was going to be what month was this but you gave the answer signing in the guest book .
Thanks for all the time you put in the videos .
Pretty much the whole month of August, we can't wait to hear all about your experience.

Thanks, Jeff, we appreciate the kind words. Have you been to the area?
@@Tents.and.Timber No, not yet. My wife and I went to the east coast last September. Mostly in Nova Scotia, got chased by the big storm.

Wow! Very cool. Now, honestly, how many jokes about the name were made. :)
Hahaha 😆 way to many, that could have been a whole video on its own!
What a great hike! An excellent workout on those stairs.
There's also a town called Dildo on the Avalon pennisula 😂
The stairs had our hearts pumping for sure! There may or may not be plans to visit that town you speak of, stay tuned for updates. Have you been?

@@buckets_on_bridges709that sounds awesome, there are so many places to visit and see in Newfoundland, we will definitely be back one day
Not sure if "Scandalous " is the right word in the title
Thanks mate, We are always open to suggestions

Definitely not American. Just from Ontario, and we look forward to checking out more of Newfoundland on our next visit. Thanks
