The trailhead sits on Route 391 just south of King’s Point, just before the town, so this page measures the drive to the trailhead itself. The mapped path climbs one side and comes down the other. It is a loop, not an out-and-back, as the profile below shows.
Wind on the exposed top, the state of the stairs, whether the trail is in shape at all: that is local knowledge this page can’t promise. Ask in King’s Point, and check the roads before you turn off the Trans-Canada.
