The Hopewell Rocks, also called the Flowerpot Rocks, are formations caused by tidal erosion. The bases of the formations are covered by water twice a day. At low tide you can walk on the beach (sea floor). High tide can be as high as 52 feet giving this area one of the highest average tides in the world. Average tidal height change is about 40 feet. At high tide, kayakers go into the formations and through the natural arches of the “flowerpots”. Like many of the days here in Canada, the sky was overcast. It's fine for walking and sightseeing, but the pictures are not bathed in sunshine.
We stayed overnight near here in Alma, New Brunswick, and had the best haddock, mussels, and clam dinner ever. Yum!

It's 2012 and we've already been to Florida for a month in the RV. We'd like to take another big trip out West, but I don't know if it will be this year.
The picture on our profile page is from Alberta, Canada in glacier country. The water color is exactly like we saw it - pale blue due to the glacier runoff.

Thanks!!
Thrilling to see this area that I have read a little about. Did not realize one had access to the floor of the beach where all this happens. Would love experiencing that!! Amazing to see even the rock formations that will continue to change. You are getting some great pictures. Hope you all were around for the incoming tide. That should be awesome for sure. Keep the pictures rolling in. :)) Great trip we are on. Eva Marie and Philip
