Hopewell Rocks Arch (New Brunswick) • PhotoTraces

The featured picture is from my newest driving journey to Atlantic Canada. I took it in certainly one of my favourite locations, Hopewell Rocks which is positioned in New Brunswick province of Canada.

What makes Hopewell Rocks well-known is the tides. They attain the unbelievable 14 meters in vertical elevation, making them the best tides on the earth.

In Hopewell Rocks, you possibly can hire a kayak within the morning and discover the cliffs of the Bay of Fundy. And, within the afternoon, when the tide reaches the bottom level you possibly can stroll on the backside of the see.

It might be probably the most rewarding spots for mountain climbing and pictures.
