Well, our first stop today is the Joggins Fossil Cliffs – UNESCO World Heritage Site. The road into this place was crazy rough – definitely not solid. However, definitely worth the drive. We walked around and checked it out – but didn’t stay long, as we didn’t want to leave Max in the camper too long by himself.
Next up, Cape Chignecto Provincial Park. Now this was a beautiful park – but not an RV campground. We went for a long walk on the beach, checked out the hills, loved the red rocks and the view of the bay were spectacular – we could even see Cape Split across the Bay of Fundy! And here Max could join us too!
Continuing along the Glooscap Trail we came upon Cape d’Or Lighthouse, just outside of Advocate Harbour – this cape marks the north point of entrance into the New Minas Basin. Now getting up this dirt road was a little bit of a challenge for Winnifred but she did make it – there is a spot in the road that Steve thought he was driving an ATV and Jo managed to say a lot of prayers but we made it to the top. The views of the Minas Basin are amazing and the cliffs were stunning. SPECTACULAR!
To keep everyone safe they had a permanent, built-in selfie post and a place for you to put your feet for the perfect picture. How does it get better that this! They also have a restaurant, The Lighthouse on Cape D’Or that wasn’t quite open for the season yet. But as the buoy said, the view is always open! I will definitely be back to see this spot again.
We were going to stay the night up on the cape but it was calling for rain overnight and Jo definitely did not want to do that road back down on wet mud in Winnie, and Winnie was very happy for the decision too.
In order to see spectacular views, one must often take the tougher trail.
