Thought I would repost this item I placed in the "Atlantic Canada Photo" thread:

A Few Pics of the Fundy Trail Parkway


This is the interpretive centre on the Big Salmon River. There are some interesting hiking trails starting at this point, including one that crosses the river on a suspension walking bridge and leads to the William Randolph Hearst Lodge.


Another picture of the interpretation centre. You can see a bit of the Big Salmon River in front of the centre, with the Bay of Fundy in the background.


This is the lookout at Long Beach. You can see the beach in the center foreground, which is 500' below you. The headland in the distance is Cape Chignecto, Nova Scotia. The amazing thing about the lookouts along the trail is that on a sunny day, the entirety of the Bay of Fundy is laid out before you. You can literally see all the way down the bay as far as Digby Neck and back up the bay to Cape Chignecto and the entrances to Chignecto Bay and the Minas Channel. The views are glorious...


Another view of Long Beach, with Cape Chignecto in the distance. Chignecto Bay extends to your left and the Minas Channel to your right.

One day (hopefully in the not too distant future), they will complete the Fundy Trail all the way through to Fundy National Park. When that happens, there will be a continuous coastal scenic route connecting Saint John and Moncton. Stops along the way will include:
- St. Martins (sea caves, B&B's, Restaurants)
- The Fundy Trail Parkway
- Fundy National Park
- Alma (quaint fishing village, restaurants, service centre for Fundy Park)
- Cape Enrage (adventure tourism, fossils, voted Canada's best view by Conde Nast)
- Hopewell Rocks (New Brunswick's signature natural attraction)

The completed coastal drive from Moncton to Saint John will be New Brunswick's version of the Cabot Trail. An easy day trip between NB's two largest cities with breathtaking scenery along the way.
