  • It's fun to ride your quad or car all over nose-hill, it's frowned upon slightly.
  • I really hope you're not serious about quads and cars. That's a seriously ignorant activity on Nose Hill.
  • It used to be done. My grandpa and uncles tell stories of getting stuck in ravines with their old truck about 20 years ago. I don't think that type of thing is still allowed. Now Nose Hill is just a nice place for a nature walk, and if you come at the right time the saskatoons are great!
