@coachsandybatten and I spent an entire day at @thehopewellrocks Provincial Park. Situated at the end of the Bay of Fundy and between the mouths of Petitcodiac River and Demoiselle Creek, this is one of the best places to watch the famous Tides of Fundy rise and fall. I checked the ride tables to see that low tide was at 12:20pm and high tide at 6:19pm, so we arrived at 8:30 to watch the tide go out ... stayed for low tide and then watched the tide come all the way back in. That day, the tide measured 30 feet! The famous rock formations show the effects of the massive tides... the seaweed line is the average high tide, such also coincides with the narrow "waist" of the flowerpot rocks. The upper part of the waist shows where the highest tides have worn away at the sand conglomerate rocks. One of the big advantages to arriving so early .. it was less people-y 😁😍🙃😉 we were able to walk around and take in the sites without dodging other tourists. The Petitcodiac is known as the "Chocolate River" because of the unique colour of the mud. It was surreal walking through these massive rock structures and watching the water recede. Even better was standing still and feeling the water rise up our legs so quickly. All of the flowerpots are named. The last image is the famous "Elephant Rock", which unfortunately fell due to natural causes a few years ago. If you go to New Brunswick, this is a must-see. If you are deciding between Fundy and Hopewell, go here of you can only pick one. #roadtrip #willandsandy #willandsandysexcellentadventure #welcomenb #tourismnb #tourismnewbrunswick #vacationlife (at Hopewell Rocks, Nouveau-Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgVKkO9pyxO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
