What people say

Stephen Jiroch
"Located right off the side of the road, Eglinton Valley is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, featuring vast open fields, surrounded by steep mountains. The valley is a testament to the power of glacial forces, having been carved out by glaciers over thousands of years. When we arrived, it literally felt like we were in the middle of a Lord of the Rings movie. This area was actually used in the movies as a filming location! You can often find some moody low hanging fog in the mountains, and it makes for some incredible photographs. If you visit in the afternoon after 5pm, you can basically expect to have this area all to yourself! There’s a wide pull out where you can park on the side of the highway to take in the views and stop for some photos!"
