A visit to Economy Falls has been on my agenda for nearly four years. Between washed out, nearly impassable roads, a crazy schedule and lack of interest from hiking friends it took this much time to finally get to the long anticipated destination. Currently the River Philip Road is a well-maintained gravel logging road. ItContinue reading “Economy Falls”

Just Another Afternoon at Ottawa House Beach
Enjoy! Happy Saturday, everyone! We continue to be blessed with smoke-free skies and clean air!
Have you ever…?
…heard of such a thing like your “house beach?” Truth be told, I made it up today. I was once again exploring the stretch of beach from Glooscap Campground to the arch at Clark Head when I remembered growing up in a small Bavarian village where we referred to one mountain as our “house mountain”,Continue reading “Have you ever…?”
Watching the Waters Meet on a Misty Spring Day
The rain had stopped when we set out for the beach earlier today. But as we arrived at Two Islands Beach Big and Little Brother Isles were shrouded in mist. We had time to explore the barnacle covered exposed ocean floor while the drizzle stopped. The primary reason for our beach excursion was to observeContinue reading “Watching the Waters Meet on a Misty Spring Day”
A Beach Clean Up Story…
The call for a beach clean up in West Advocate was posted by the Cliffs of Fundy GeoPark a couple weeks ago. With the cancellation of the Hike Summit my Monday was suddenly free, so I ventured out to Advocate Harbour this morning. I arrived a little early. Once the light rain slowed I beganContinue reading “A Beach Clean Up Story…”
After the rain…
Apple blossoms!!! Lupines!!! Prunus padus, better known as Mayday… a little late but ever so welcome! …last but not least, a reminder that black flies don’t only bother humans. Thanks to a couple doses of Benadryl Teak’s eyes are all better tonight and the itch is gone! Take your insect repellent and make sure toContinue reading “After the rain…”
Looking for Drama in Your Landscape Photographs?
The Upper Bay of Fundy Shore line must top your bucket list! The varied coast line within the Cliffs of Fundy GeoPark is one of the most diverse areas to explore. Each beach offers walkable terrain and captivating subject matter. The images here are of the Clarke Head guided tour on offer through Tide RollersContinue reading “Looking for Drama in Your Landscape Photographs?”
Down to the beach we venture…
Soley Cove has become a go-to destination, best explored during the low tide window! It was perfect beach walk weather, not too hot, a little ubreeze and the tide just about to turn. The decision to walk out on the muddy ocean floor might not have been the smartest… but you live and you learn😊Continue reading “Down to the beach we venture…”
Video Flashback: Refugee Cove
May 18th, 2022 – my first ever hike to Refugee Cove! It was a glorious day, one year ago… I will blame this hike on planting the idea of exploring the Cape Chignecto Coastal Trail. It only took a year to realize my dream and meet my personal goal.
Clarke Head in rain and as the sun breaks through the clouds…
The beach is always more impressive with dramatic skies! Despite the cloud cover the views were impressive with Cape Split clearly visible. Just as we arrived at Clarke Head arch the clouds burst and we were doused with rain and hail. The moisture intensified the colours of the cliffs and beach rocks even more! AndContinue reading “Clarke Head in rain and as the sun breaks through the clouds…”
Sunrise Start…
The alarm rang at 4 am, picking up my friend at 4:45 and the drive to West Advocate seemed even more curvy in the dark. We arrived in good time and only waited a couple minutes before our third hiking friend rolled into the parking lot. We set out for the trailhead knowing full wellContinue reading “Sunrise Start…”
The Question…
Jurassic sandstone Weathered for millennia – When will it break off?
Parrsboro…
We were fooled into believing that Old Man Winter had finally moved on yesterday! The water in the Aboiteau was so calm, the reflections clear. This was the view during our Wednesday morning walk… …here is a close up of reflections and shoreline. I will spare you an image of the swirling snow flakes fromContinue reading “Parrsboro…”
Every Rock Has a Story…
I came across this photo yesterday. It popped up on my FaceBook memories and I realized that I made the image two years ago on my very first Clarke Head hike. I have fond memories of that day, I felt so adventurous to go on my solo excursion. When I stumbled upon this amazing rockContinue reading “Every Rock Has a Story…”
Clarke Head “Clear Your Head With a Friend” Hike
On the spur of the moment my friend Lori and I decided to head to Clarke Head as the tide rushed out late afternoon Tuesday. It was the perfect ending to a busy day. Hope you are enjoying a relaxing Thursday evening. We are safely tucked in with Old MannWinter holding on and gifting usContinue reading “Clarke Head “Clear Your Head With a Friend” Hike”
First Time Visitors to Soley Cove
Spring arrived accompanied by strong winds today. It was the only day that worked to fit a Soley Cove excursion into the schedule. The ancient landscape never disappoints! The light was variable and yielded some unusual and unexpected images. Once again, Soley Cove spread its magic and my tour participants were truly impressed by theContinue reading “First Time Visitors to Soley Cove”
Moody Thomas Cove
It was high time for a return to Thomas Cove in Lower Economy. The entrance to Economy Point Road is off Hwy 209 past the Cliffs of Fundy Welcome Centre in Economy toward Truro, a 35 minute drive from Parrsboro. The last time I visited was nearly two years ago in June. Today we wereContinue reading “Moody Thomas Cove”
Sunday Hike Adventure
The plan was to hike along the beach from Red Rocks to Refugee Cove, depending on the cooperation of the tide. Well, let’s just say “The Mistress of the Bay”, as my friend calls the Bay of Fundy tide, was not in the mood for a waltz or Foxtrott today. We made good time toContinue reading “Sunday Hike Adventure”
Some Sandstone Love…
The Redhead Formation is a a special destination for hikes. I visited last Saturday… I tend to get quiet and look for details carved my wind and water…. Enjoy, Anna
When the tide is really really high…
…it’s usually best to avoid the beaches! There is one beach in Port Greville I feel confident where a rogue wave will not sweep me into the sea. That’s where I took my hiking group to this afternoon. This tree stump was gigantic and as we walked toward it we were reminded of a rockingContinue reading “When the tide is really really high…”
