Mountain Brow Lookout
The Mountain Brow Lookout in Hamilton, Ontario is a short 0.34 km (0.2-mile) out-and-back walk that leads to views of Hamilton from the cliff line of the Niagara Escarpment.Walk
This short walk begins at a small parking lot along Mountain Brow Blvd in Hamilton where visitors will find a paved, universally-accessible pathway that run along the cliff line high above the city. This very short out-and-back route leads to two different views from the lookout -- one facing northwest and the other facing northeast. Both views provide sweeping vistas of Hamilton with distant views of the Niagara Escarpment as it runs both east and west. Walkers can choose to venture much further along this paved trail as it runs for quite a while in both directions. During our visit we had many other stops to make, hence the very short out-and-back 0.34 km walk.
