This
summer we again head north to explore the magnificent outdoor wilderness
of The Bay of Fundy on New Brunswick's rugged Atlantic coast.
Breathtaking coastal scenery, astounding
tides, miles of unspoiled hiking trails and villages with a distinct
European flavor await us.
The tour begins in the serene fishing village of St. Martins at the lovely Salmon River Inn. St.
Martins once saw 500 sailing ships built and launched and today the village is the gateway to the Fundy Trail Parkway, a magnificent drive along one of the last undeveloped stretches of coastline.
From
here, we head up the coast to The Florentine Manor in Alma, the gateway
to Fundy National Park. Built in 1860 by a timber baron, the inn has retained
much of the original decor and flavor and Mary Tingley's great warmth
and fine cooking is not soon forgotten!
As we explore the coastline between our two resting spots, we will experience
the great diversity the Bay of Fundy has to offer, both within and near
the National Park. We visit an abandoned 18th century stone quarry, discover
a lighthouse perched on a dramatic cliff side and wander among the strange
'flower pot' rock formations, created by both the weather and the highest
tides in the world! Miles of groomed trails within the park wind through
mature forests, along river canyons and past numerous waterfalls.
One
glorious walk (tides permitting) takes us from the door of the inn down
to Mary's Point. Here we discover trees fossilized in stone!
Nearby are a host of spectacular, but little known trails along isolated
cliffs and beaches, to mysterious sea caves and beside pristine rivers.
Trips begin with dinner Sunday and end
after hiking and lunch Friday.
