Hopewell Rocks
These stairs provide access to Hopewell Rocks at low tide . No jumping off the rocks please.
Ok this is the famous view of Hopewell Rocks at low tide.
And this is the very same view at high tide with kayakers enjoying paddling around the rocks.
At low tide we could literally walk the ocean floor.
We wandered down the coastline to see more "flowerpot" structures.
Erode, erode, erode...
It is easy to see the depressions under the water when the tide is out.
For folks who wander too far down the shore when the tide comes in they provide this emergency landing.
We call this upside down keyhole rock. Weird huh? Not us, the rock!
We called this pterodactyl rock. Ok, now we're being a little strange.
Another location at the rocks at low tide.
And again at high tide.
After the Labor Day crowds departed we were left with a great unobstructed view.
Low tide provides some extensive sloppy, mud walking experiences.
Nearby our campground there were some caves exposed during low tides.
St. Martins was charming and had TWO covered bridges.
We loved Century Farms Campground. This was a typical sunset.
Here is another covered bridge in St. Martins and some "high & dry" boats.
We enjoyed dinner (see next pic) at the St. Martins Country Inn.
We met some new friends, Bill & Cheryl Fitch during our stay. Great people and fulltimers too!
We drove to Fundy Nat'l Park and rode our bikes. The trail was steep and kicked our butts!
During our frequent rest stops we enjoyed these views along the Fundy coast.
Blah, Blah, Blah... you know the routine, beautiful views.
And we just don't get tired of them!
The "Reversing Falls" is much touted and more of rapids than falls. The water is rushing right to left here.
During the slack period when the tide is neither in or out the water is slack.
Here is another view of the water rushing out at low tide.
And that same view during the slack period. What a change.
Of course, no falls/rapids would be complete without a drenching boat ride. Not for us though.
We watched this kayaker virtually hover in the rapids. How does he DO that?!!
Between the tides we toured Saint John. This totem-like structure was outside of a cheesy museum.
Saint John is a popular destination for cruise ships and ferries from Nova Scotia.
