Different Angles from Phinney Green Beach

Hard to believe these are the same sea stack formations! See them with your own eyes, book a tour!

West Advocate: Red Rocks

One of the major landmarks along the beach near the starting point of the Cape Chignecto Trail is the Red Rocks Formation. A little driving tour this afternoon had us climb these sandstone rocks, admire the patterns and striations and enjoy the stunning views from the top!

Cape Chignecto Landmark: Storyteller Tree

Between trail marker 27 and 28 km, just before or after the halfway mark, depending if one travels clockwise or counter-clockwise, this ancient, gnarly, attention-demanding sentinel calls the hiker to attention! Many a picture has been captured with this tree… many a story could be told if it could speak!

Refugee Cove

Refugee Cove with the Ol’ Sal Sea Stack is a place for rest, filtering water and prepare for the last 11 km to complete the coastal loop. Bittersweet! Looking forward to my own bed😊

No Monday Blues Here…

That’s my lunch stop today. Isle Haute in the distance floating between heaven and earth!

Hike or Saunter?

I spent yesterday dividing my time between reviewing the hiking supply list, a meeting with the Geopark manager and fitting back country hiking gear into my backpack. It weighs in at 30 lbs this year (including 2.5 litres of water and food for five days). It felt balanced and quite comfortable as I tried itContinue reading “Hike or Saunter?”

Earth Day 2024

We had a fabulous turn out for the Earth Day hike to Clarke Head. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. John Calder for sharing his in-depth knowledge of the area and to geoscientist Louise Leslie from GeoLearn for providing answers to on-the-spot questions along the way. This was the first joint interpretive walk between theContinue reading “Earth Day 2024”

Revisiting a few favourite images…

Soley Cove Group Hike

Soley Cove called for the second time this week. Monday I took a geologist friend out for her first ever exploration. Today two groups came together: Parrsboro and Truro hikers joined together to discover the trek to the Redhead under grey skies. There were the usual first time ooohs and ahhhs and cameras were workingContinue reading “Soley Cove Group Hike”

Soley Cove Flower Pot

I will never forget the first time I set eyes on the Soley Cove Flower Pot. This was in November 2020. Since that first discovery the signs of erosion cannot be ignored. This important Minas Basin landmark is a sight to behold, whether you experience it on the ocean floor rising high above you orContinue reading “Soley Cove Flower Pot”

Crocus Time

After the excitement of witnessing the near total eclipse of the sun it’s time to focus on things closer to home. The flowerbeds are getting ready for their annual colour display. First to make an appearance: the humble crocus.

Eclipse 2024 Recap

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words… while I did not capture images of the eclipse itself I enjoyed watching my tour group take it all in. Following are a few more pictures of the scenery. Check out the sun rays and halo that are so different from a regular sun capture. Participants todayContinue reading “Eclipse 2024 Recap”

Event Prep – Check!

I just returned from scouting Phinney Green beach and stash some water for tomorrow’s Eclipse Tour. What a glorious afternoon my friend and I enjoyed walking this vast beach in solitude. And then our sense of adventure struck: we decided to go exploring… across the river and through the woods! On the way back toContinue reading “Event Prep – Check!”

Clarke Head in April

The day has been filled with typical April weather, sunshine and snow flurries, grey storm clouds and strong wind. Anne, Molly and I didn’t let the weather deter us from a brisk hike to Clarke Head. Thanks for joining me!

Ravenhead Wilderness Area Hike

A birthday is a great reason to hit the trail. It’s an even better reason to explore a trail less travelled. We headed past Apple River to embark on our 23.2 km excursion taking us through the woods to Polley’s Flats Beach. Cape Capstan with the Apple River Lighthouse was the perfect place for aContinue reading “Ravenhead Wilderness Area Hike”
