Thomas Cove Economy Loop Trail

After a quick hike around the Thomas Cove Economy Trail Loop we said good bye to our Saskatchewan friends today. This 4 km loop shows off some of the best the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark has to offer: lush woodlands contrasting against red sandstone cliffs. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

Quick Excursion to Cape d’Or

We were so pleased to reconnect with our friends from Saskatchewan today. Susan and Brian are spending some time in Nova Scotia. Knowing how much they love to discover new landscapes we made the late afternoon decision to make a quick trip to Cape d’Or. The light and the cliffs did not disappoint!

Remembrance Day at Hidden Falls

Between the rain squalls I managed to get out for a short excursion. Hidden Falls was the perfect destination. There was a lot to appreciate still despite the fact that all the leaves were down. You just never know what you find in the woods… And the falls never disappoint! Crossing the brook was notContinue reading “Remembrance Day at Hidden Falls”

Four Seasons Retreat – A True Gem Along the Fundy Shore

Yesterday was one of those days where the weather wouldn’t make up its mind. There was a real chill in the air and just when it was time to get on the road for a meeting it started to snow. The weather was perfect to get me in the mood for the meeting: I wasContinue reading “Four Seasons Retreat – A True Gem Along the Fundy Shore”
