Our time in New Brunswick was short but unforgettable. The highlight of our visit was Hopewell Rocks, one of the most famous natural landmarks in the province. Even though we didn’t explore much else, standing among the massive rock formations shaped by the tides of the Bay of Fundy made this stop feel unforgettable. It was the kind of place that makes you pause and realize just how powerful and beautiful nature really is.
What’s Special About The Hopewell Rocks
Although the main attraction is the Hopewell Rocks, the Provincial Park has numerous hiking trails. My parents and I went on one while waiting for the low tide.
The Hopewell Rocks and the Bay of Fundy are known for the dramatic high tide and low tide. When we went, we were lucky to see both. When it was high tide, we saw the rocks and the bay from afar, but when it became low tide, we were able to come down and walk on the ground, basically the ocean’s floor.
Another fact is that some people call the water at the Bay of Fundy, chocolate water, because the wet mud makes the water brown, and the wet mud covers the rocks, and seaweed where the Hopewell Rocks are.
