Please mark your calendars!
You do not have to be a geologist to be amazed by the coastal cliffs and sea stacks at Clarke Head. The cliffs in places are contorted into improbable shapes like something from a Dr. Suess drawing, are faulted against one another, and contain unusual minerals and fossils.
This particular stretch of the coast bears witness to great tectonic forces that accompanied the assembly of continents to form the famous supercontinent of Pangea approximately 300 million years ago.
Join geologist Dr. John Calder who will share some of the riddles – answered and answered – that faced he and others as they mapped this area of the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark.
This free guided walk is approximately 7 km return. We meet at 3:45 pm at the gate at Glooscap Municipal Campground.
Please wear layers against wind and weather. Choose sturdy shoes to wear and carry a pack with water and your preferred snack. We will be following the tide out. Due to the nature of the hike and potentially large group we kindly ask you to leave your pets at home.
Feel free to email Anna or text 1-306-631-8539 if you are interested and have questions.
