HOPEWELL ROCK, NEW BRUNSWICK VISIT

Before heading back to New England, our last sightseeing stop was to Hopewell Rocks in Hopewell Cape, NB.  Also called the Flowerpots Rocks, for obvious reasons, the rock formations are caused by tidal erosion in The Hopewell Rocks Ocean Tidal Exploration Site.  They stand some 40-70 feet tall.

When the tide is in, one can kayak over the top of the rocks and when the tide goes out, you can walk the floor.  Pretty cool if you ask me.

We went after hours and saw the high tide.  Then the next morning we paid the $10 entry fee and got to explore the ocean floor, the interpretation center and had a nice big breakfast before hitting the road.

Glad we stopped here.  It was a drizzly day but we brought rain coats and umbrella and kept dry.  Thanks for stopping in to say hi.
