Fundy National Park and Foot Path

Mom and I went to Fundy National Park for a little R&R a few days prior to my graduation. We hiked in and spent two nights at the Goose River backcountry campsites with a day hike along portions of the Fundy Foot Path on day two. We both had a great time despite the rain we encountered on our second day. Hope you enjoy the photos of our little adventure... (Click on them for a high resolution)

Home base for the next few days.


Ahh... Nothing like a warm fire.


Day 2: Breakfast


Mucking about the mud flats in order to cross Goose River at low tide.



Mom enjoys the river before lacing up the hiking boots for the start of the Foot Path.


Up up up we go...


A well deserved break on a thick carpet of moss.


The famous "White Car"



A little hydration was required on occasion...


Down down down...


Strike a pose.


Rose Brook crossing.


Day 2: Lunch on Azor's Beach (Cajun chicken & rice mmmm...)



Back up Rose Brook on our way back to camp.


The view from Edwin's Peak (The rain had begun during lunch)


Wet but happy.



Isn't my mom awesome! This was her first multi day hike.

This is what Goose River looks like if you don't wait for low tide. Since there was no way to cross the river in order to get back to our camp site, we had to wait for a few hours until the tide went out a little.

We made a little shelter with a ground sheet over our heads to keep the rain off and made some hot chocolate.

Finally back at camp. Making supper in the pouring rain. The MSR Trekker tent that a friend lent me was fantastic. You can prop up one side of the tent like an awning to keep dry while you cook. Thanks Jean-Guy!

Day 3: We stayed cozy and dry despite hard rain all night.


Heading back to the car at Point Wolfe. Wet, tired and happy...


We saw lots of these over the three days but no sign of the beast (moose) itself.



End of the journey!
