Fundy National Park Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

New Brunswick - Fredericton and Bay of Fundy

North America » Canada » New Brunswick » Fundy National Park

Fredericton

After a relatively early morning (9.00am Ha Ha) we set off for Fredericton, the Capital of New Brunswick. New Brunswick has a number of tourist routes including the River Valley drive. It was full of the yellow, red and green leaves that made up the fall colours. Along the way we stopped in at the town of Grand Falls in which the centrepiece of downtown are the falls themselves. In our travels the falls are usually a little way out of town, so this was a touch unusual. WE eventually arrived out our host’s place for the night. Dom and a [View Full Entry]

World longest covered bridge
In Hartland New Brunswick spanning the Saint John River

When we left Quebec we were headed to Fundy Nat'l Park in New Brunswick. At Hartland we took a detour to see the longest covered Bridge at 1,282 ft long. We took a few pictures, but it was being worked on so it was closed. We passed a few more covered bridges on the way to Woodstock, where we decided to camp for the night. When we woke, we were over looking a nice river right by an old bridge....the kids took some time inthe morning to play at the park and pick so wild apples. After breakfast we drove on [View Full Entry]

Milking a cow

"Think of the long trip home. Should we have stayed at home and thought of here? Where should we be today? Is it right to be watching strangers in a play in this strangest of theatres? What childishness is it that while there’s a breath of life In our bodies, we are determined to rush to see the sun the other way around?" - Questions of Travel, Elizabeth Bishop There’s a series of moments in traveling, periodic enlightenment, aha moments per say, and I live for them. They aren’t fancy, or always overwhelming. They’re usually quiet and unnoticed. [View Full Entry]

Nouveau-Brunswick: jour 4

Aube Cap Enragé
Nouveau-Brunswick

Voilà, déjà la dernière journée de cette longue fin de semaine dans les maritimes. Nous nous sommes réveillé à l'aube et avons profité d'un joli lever de soleil au cap Enragé. Puis, nous sommes retournés voir les Hopewell Rocks tôt le matin (avant même que le Parc n'ouvre ses portes et nous demande de payer), car la marée était basse vers 7-8 heures. Ce midi, nous avons mangé du homard à l'Ile du Prince Edouart que nous avons atteint en traversant le pont de la Confédération. Au retour, Julie a réussi à s'égarer sur cette minuscule province pendant que je faisais [View Full Entry]

Pont couvert en direction de la Baie de Fundy
New-Brunswick

Destination Baie de Fundy, en passant par Hopewell rocks. La marée était haute et nous avons décidé de revenir le lendemain matin à Hopewell rock quand la marée serait basse afin de constater la différence dans le niveau de l'eau. Nous avons donc passé la majeure partie de la journée dans le parc de la baie de fundy et avons fait une belle randonnée dans la forêt qui borde le littoral. Ce soir là nous avons dormi dans la voiture au cap enragé afin de profiter du lever de soleil le lendemain à cet endroit charmant, malgré le nom. [View Full Entry]

Autumn approaches

Motorhome News from North America 22. 1st -12th September 2006 Nova Scotia - Cape Breton to The Bay of Fundy and ghostly ships Bright rose hips are gathering in the hedgerows and maple leaves are showing their first signs of change; those pale shades of yellow and chestnut brown, as we pass along the highway.

The beauties of Fundy National Park

North America » Canada » New Brunswick » Fundy National Park

Hopewell Rocks and the “Flower Pots”.

Over night it poured, I think we need to build an arc. Dickson Falls was our first stop. With some rain/drizzle we hiked out to the falls in a deep valley, mostly on a boardwalk/steps. The rain has created lush wilderness with delightful smells of wood and pine. Herring Cove, our next stop, is a viewing spot for the tides of Fundy, the highest tides in the world. We caught the tides as high tide was approaching. The best time to view the tides is low tide, oh well! A quaint covered bridge leads us to Point Wolf. The trail winds [View Full Entry]
