A last minute invitation to join friends on a hike today was a welcome diversion from spending time on the computer.
We set out from the Driftwood Beach parking lot in West Advocate exploring the ever-changing pebble beach.
We turned around near the organic Atlantic salmon plant and headed toward the Red Rocks at the entrance to Cape Chignecto Provincial Park. There was a perfect spot in the sun for us to enjoy some lunch.
We had touched on the idea to head to McGahey Brook, scale the steep stairs and climb the trail to Mill Creek hill. When we arrived at a fork in the trail pointing into an alternate direction none of us had ever explored we turned right and followed the McGahey Brook Loop Trail.
The smiles say it all: we made the perfect choice for our woodland part of the outing!
There were treasures around every bend!
Thanks to Isidora and Gaby for the three pictures I appear in.
Here is a map of our excursion. Note the elevation difference once we entered the park.
Wishing everyone a relaxing Saturday evening. I am making plans to offer this hike as a regular day hike or possibly an overnight hike. What do you think? Is there interest if I start branching out into multi-day excursions?
