Fundy National Park and back to Hopewell Rocks at high tide

It rained overnight, but the morning brought clouds with a weather report looking promising for clearing skies so off we went to Fundy National Park.  The park system here has been really great - well marked trails and roads, friendly knowledgeable staff, and well kept facilities.



This was the Caribou Plain trail.  It takes you thru a bog, and we had been told there was a chance of seeing moose here.  No such luck.


I could just SEE a fairy house being placed under this tree!



Some photographers don't pay any attention to warnings!


Then we went to do the Dickson Falls hike.  Very pretty trail to a nice waterfall.







This was at the top of the waterfall - amazing that this little stream could produce so much waterfall!  People had stacked rocks there.


The trail followed a babbling brook, and at times it was almost IN the brook!


Next we drove down Point Wolfe Rd. and it goes thru a covered bridge!





The view from just below the bridge.



We then went back into Alma to walk the small town.  I don't know what these plants are but they are quite pretty and we've seen a ton of them!


It was low tide, and the boats were beached.




This sadly is the closest I will get to a moose!


We went back to Hopewell Rocks to get pics of the Flower Pots at high tide.  What an amazing thing these tides are!  Yesterday we were walking around these. 


On the way back to our place, the sky was getting pretty so we pulled over for a pic.  It doesn't do it justice.


However, this was the waning sunset as we arrived at our accommodations... beautiful!


So goodbye Canada... tomorrow we head back to the US of A.
