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”

Earth Day 2024 Free Guided Hike

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.

This particular stretchContinue reading “Earth Day 2024 Free Guided Hike”

Wards Falls Woodland Hike

The trail to Wards Falls holds treasures to discover any time of the year. We were happy it wasn’t too muddy. The brook was gurgling gently as we navigated the trail of sixteen bridges, criss-crossing the woodland stream as it glistened in the sun. We even found some icicles in the shaded areas. There wereContinue reading “Wards Falls Woodland Hike”

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”
