Sussex Nature Walkway

Yesterday, Greg and I took the bikes and rode the Sussex Nature Walkway (also a bike trail) from one end to the other, which was only about 5 miles in length.

The trail reminded me a lot of the Struble Trail in Downingtown, only not as wide, and gravel rather than paved.

Afterwards, we took our laundry to the local laundromat.

Matthews Head Trail

Today, we headed back to Fundy National Park to hike the Matthews Head trail.

Unfortunately, the parking lot at the trailhead was full. We headed down to the next parking lot with the thought that we would hike up to the trailhead.

Ugh. After nearly a mile of climbing straight up, we decided to cry uncle.

So we took a little rest before heading back down to the car.

Afterwards, we headed to the grocery store to buy some vegetables that could be cooked. No cyclospora for us!

Fundy National Park

Today, we headed to Fundy National Park to do a couple of short hikes. Over the course of the day, we did 16 staircases. All of the hikes went down and then up again.

Dickson Falls

Our first hike was to Dixon Falls. We started by descending a wooden staircase into the heart of the forest.

The moss turned the forest into something out of Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit.

A wooden walkway followed a pretty stream with many small waterfalls until we reached the largest one.

Herring Cove

Next, we headed to Herring Cove. Along the way, we drove through this pretty covered bridge.

Shiphaven Trail

Then we were off to do the Shiphaven Trail. This trail was another wooden walkway along the cliff overlooking the Bay of Fundy.

Wolf Point Beach

The Wolf Point Beach Trail took us down onto the beach itself.

By the time we were finished hiking down to Wolf Point Beach, we were beat. We headed back to the campground, where Greg made Greek turkey burgers for a late lunch, we took a nap, and we watched The Last Airbender on TV.
