There are still some animals up there now - but back then you would see a ton of deer, coyotes and porcupines.

We would head up there to tromp around the woods, rip down the bike paths or just hang out the entire day. In later years in also became the place where you could partake in a little under-age drinking.
Oh yeah Nose Hill. I lived in Dalhousie in the mid 70s, and we always biked up Nose Hill. Also explored the wide open prairie that is Ranchlands now. Went ass over tea kettle on my bike going down a huge hill in that area. Lots of fun.
