Posted by: The Agnew Family
Another beautiful day --- mostly sunny and no fog.
We drove back to Alma and the Fundy National Park. The park is known for it's hiking trails. We did one short hike with a lot of stairs to see a waterfalls, saw a few great views, a covered bridge and a beach without water. After visiting the park we went into Alma for lunch.... yum seafood --- clam strips, lobster roll and seafood chowder were consumed by John, Carol, Ed and myself.
In 2011 Parks Canada at Gros Morne National Park came up with the idea to place sets of Adirondack chairs in lesser-known, stunning locations around the park, inviting visitors to enjoy and share on social media. This is one of the places where the red chairs are placed at Fundy National Park.
The covered bridge at Point Wolfe in Fundy NP.
The beach at Point Wolfe looks a little dry at low tide.
It's very damp and very green at Dickson Falls in Fundy NP.
There were a lot of types of lichen around the falls, this was one of the most interesting looking ones.
At the Alma harbour the tide has started to come in but you can still the "crib" that was set under one side of the boat to stabilize it at low tide.
Fishing boats in the Alma Harbour.
It wasn't quite high tide but the boats are floating again. One boat was getting ready to leave the harbour and one boat come into the harbour and tied up.
On the way back to the AirBNB we made a few stops. One of them was a quick look at the Lighthouse at Cape Enrage.
Near Cape Enraged we bound this beach that covered in smooth flat rocks of varying shapes and sizes. It was almost high tide so waves were crashing against the shore. As the wave went out you would hear a loud series of bangs. It took a few minutes to figure out that the rocks were being lifted by the wave when it came in then dropped hitting other rocks when the wave went out.
We stopped at a nature area and was serenaded by this bull frog.
An old lighthouse that had been from another town was placed by the edge of a creek.
