Park Amenities:
Radar Hill is lookout viewpoint providing visitors some eye candy in the form of far reaching views. It is located in the Pacific Rim National Park near the communities of Tofino and Ucluelet on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The viewing destination provides an almost 360 degree view of the Pacific Rim region. Some of the more well known views include Clayoquot Sound, Tofino Inlet and - on a clear day - Meares Island.
To reach Radar Hill one travels along a paved road to a large parking lot. Once parked one can reach some views via a wheel chair, baby stroller friendly boardwalk trail which connects to a wooden viewing platform.
On the other side of the parking lot is another trail connecting to some views looking west. This is a dirt pathway. Throughout Radar Hill there are some interpretive signs and a memorial called the Kap'Yong Memorial. It honours the memory of the 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry which served during the Korean War.
The history of the hill dates back to the days when it was once a radar installation during the Second World War. All visitors to the park must have a Park Use Permit.
