Earl Grey Terrace

OpenStreetMap
Looking east from Earl Grey Terrace. Terrain and imagery at true elevation.

Earl Grey Terrace sits along the Chemin du Roy at an elevation of 266 feet, facing east at 90 degrees. The terrain drops 253 feet within 600 meters of the overlook. Cap Diamant, a cliff, is visible to the east-northeast at a distance of 1.0 mile, reaching 312 feet in elevation. Lac Baie d'Or lies farther out to the east-southeast, 4.9 miles away, at 230 feet. Because the terrace faces directly toward the sunrise, the view aligns with the sun's rise on the horizon; sunrise times vary through the year, from 04:51 at the June solstice to 07:28 at the December solstice. The overlook is positioned between Scenic overlook, the previous stop, and Belvédère de Tequenonday, the next one along the route.
