Fundy National Park and Lunch at Alma

Today was a busy day of visiting interesting sights in the Fundy National Park on the north side of the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. We started in Alma, NB on the edge of the park and decided to return there for a late lunch.  The first two pictures show the difference in the tide over just about three hours. The one on the left is at high tide and the one on the right is when we came back for lunch about mid-tide.

On our way to Point Wolfe we saw this covered bridge.  Then we took a hike down to the beach.

Sawmill Creek Bridge 1905

We saw this little falls on the trail down, including some down hill trail and a set of steps at the end.

We saw kayaks out on the bay, even though it was very cold.  It's a very popular sport around here.

This is the set of steps we took to get back up to the parking lot. Yes, that's Linda and she made it all the way up.

Another walk was in a high (1200 ft. elevation) part of the park - Caribou Plain.  Caribou once roamed there but are no longer in the area.

More hiking on a boardwalk through the Caribou Plain

When all was done, we return to Alma, NB for a lovely lunch. The tide had fallen considerably, even though it wasn't low tide for another couple of hours.
