Cape Chignecto Shelf Fungi

While hiking the Cape Chignecto Costal Trail last month I was struck by the variety of shelf fungi adorning the trees. Here is a small selection of various collections along the trail.

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: Bark Study

Up close and personal, bark layers.

Cape Chignecto: Tranquility

Catching my breath and enjoying the silence along the coastal trail, Saturday, April 27th, 2024

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!

Off Grid!

Just a few images to keep you in the loop. I am well on my way by now sauntering counter-clockwise. I am doing the hike solo this year to get away from everyday noise and routines.

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?”

McGahey Brook Trail Loop in Cape Chignecto Provincial Park

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 theContinue reading “McGahey Brook Trail Loop in Cape Chignecto Provincial Park”

All in a Day’s Hike: Red Rocks to Refugee Cove and Back

22.2 km in 9.5 hours spent with like-minded people on the trail is pretty much a perfect Friday! Brian had volunteered to pick up a tent for someone and Heather and I took up his invitation to join him. The weather was great! And the company could not have been more pleasant. It was notContinue reading “All in a Day’s Hike: Red Rocks to Refugee Cove and Back”

Cape Chignecto Provincial Park Coastal Trail – Final Section

Monday morning arrived with soft light and no rain. Breakfast was the quickest affair yet and with no tents to air or dry out we were back on the trail shortly after 7:30 am. 8 km to go… the finish line was so close!
