Description: Cox Hill Ridge Trail is a fairly strenuous trail that climbs steadily to a flat, grassy hilltop over the top of Cox Hill and connects with the Jumping Pound Ridge Trail. The summit is a superlative, stunning, panoramic viewpoint, superior to Moose Mountain, because that massif, looking unfamiliar from this direction, is also included in the view. The most recent claim to fame though, is that it is the highest point on the Trans Canada Trail.
