Valley Peak Details

Part of St. Sauveur Mountain's southern ridge, this peak offers some spectacular views of Somes Sound and the ocean. Access is via the summit of St. Sauveur Mountain, where hikers will find the Valley Peak Trail, which runs from summit to summit. The Valley Peak Trail may be closed in summer due to nesting peregrine falcons. Check the status of the trail with a Park Ranger before hiking.
