Today we drove from Fredericton at the Canadian Tire parking lot and headed to Fundy Bay National Park. We swam at Wolf Lake and drove the park and along the east coast of New Brunswick, it's truly beautiful out here. The highlight of the day was definitely Hopewell Rock Provincial Park where we spent the afternoon. Tonight we are camping at a private campground just 5 minutes away, right on the water in Fundy Bay. All along the east coast of New Brunswick in Fundy Bay experiences the world's highest tides, averaging a 35 foot change, but seen as high as 42 feet. The Hopewell Rock Park shows a number of rocks that jut out of the beach like pillars when the tide is low, yet appear to be just little islands when the tide is high. We got some amazing pictures today and really enjoying the east coast. Today the low tide was at 6:04 pm and the high will be tomorrow at 12:16pm so the pictures we put on tonight will show the low and hopefully the next time we load up pictures they will have the same view but with a high tide.

Scenic view from the highway looking east toward the Bay
Once again on the side of the highway looking toward the water, great weather today
Crooked Creek Lookout point, a short detour off the highway
View out the car window as we drive from Fundy Bay Park to Hopewell Park
Just some of the rocks at Hopewell Rock Park. The entire area fills with water and you can kayak around the tops of the pillars which become islands at high tide
A view of Daniel Flats, completely exposed at low tide. It's strange how straight the beach is and how unusual the terrain looks, almost like a different planet
Another view of Daniel Flats looking toward the mainland
Another view of Daniel Flats, definitely the most interesting natural wonder we've seen yet
More of the carved out sandstone cliffs and rocks in the park
Our campsite tonight, right near the water's edge with a great view
