Cape Collinson Lighthouse

When you take the path on the left, this is the Cape Collinson Path and Cape Collinson Lighthouse is at the end of the paved walkway. The good news is that this path is super easy to hike but the bad news is the lighthouse is behind a gated fence. So this is as far as you can go.
