Booked Adventure: The Bay of Fundy

The Bay of Fundy is the space between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Because it extends downward towards Maine, I'm including pics from Acadia National Park since it (probably) counts.

Let's begin in New Brunswick. Did you know that the Bay of Fundy generates the highest tides in the world? And nowhere is this more apparent than New Brunswick's Hopewell Rocks, where you can walk on the ocean floor at low tide, and boat around the nightly islands at high tide. We visited in 2011, walking around Hopewell Rocks during the day, and tracking the incoming tides along a beach in nearby Alma.

At high tide, the water reaches up to the base of those trees

Continuing our road trip, our next stop was Acadia National Park, Maine. The park sits beside Bar Harbor, a quaint town with a harbor on the Bay. In Acadia, we traveled around Mt. Desert Island, where we could overlook the sea and wander along rocky beaches.
