Trail leading through a forest of trees.
A trail through the woods which leads down to the lookouts over the Hopewell Rocks.
The Hopewell Rocks (Low Tide)
This is the first sighting of the famous Hopewell Rocks from the main lookout.
These two photos were recorded at 10:36 AM AST while the tide was out.
The Stairway Down Below
Some neat looking colourful rocks.
People walking around on the muddy beach.
Seaweed atop the mud
Walking on sinking mud.
Trying to walk on this muddy spot is like walking on quick sand; you’re fine until you try to move your feet.
Some of many nice scenic views of the Bay of Fundy.
Amazing Rocks
Another set of some amazing views seen at low-tide.
Downright MUDDY!!!
These are some very amusing sights that I was glad to have captured on the day.
Many people took off their footwear to walk knee deep through the very messy mud shore.
Waves bringing in the tide
As the tide was coming in, the beach was coated with delicious chocolate waves.
It was also fun to let the waves engulf my hiking boots with the brown water. BTW, my hiking boots are water proof.
Before and After
TOP (LEFT to RIGHT): The tide coming in after only 127 minutes.
BOTTOM (LEFT to RIGHT): After just a few minutes, the shore was gone.
My Favourite two photos of the day

Very nice images of the BOF. I have yet to visit the Hopewell Rocks, which I’ve been meaning to do in so long! Thanks for the inspiration

Thank you very much for the nice comments. This was my first time visiting the Hopewell Rocks and they truly are amazing. Before planning a trip there, be sure to check the tide schedules for the location. I would recommend trying to arrive when the tide is low so that you can walk along the beach, but also stay a while to see the tide come back in.
Thanks again for your comments.

These pictures are beautiful, I’m sending them to family in Alberta, these are the kind of things they miss of home.
I am #7 of 8 kids in family and I’m the only one living close to Saint John.

Beautiful photos of a truly amazing place! We were there in August and I was lucky enough to see my life’s first bald eagle!
