Hopewell Cape & The Flowerpot Rocks

Coming from Saint John, NB to the Flower Pot Rocks, you have to travel Hwy 114 and it is HORRIBLE.  There are so many repairs to the road and the uneven patches beat the crap out of us.  Also, the first part coming off of Hwy 1 had tons of steep grades and curves.  It also gave us the impression:  "Did we take a wrong turn somewhere?"  You know what I mean?  Backwoods...rural...no traffic.  The road is definitely worth consideration to see the rocks.

We arrived at Ponderosa Pines CG early afternoon which happened to be low tide and a great time to see the Rocks so off we went.

At low tide, the beach surface is mud, mud, mud, thick mud, and gravel.

Hopewell Cape is a park.  The path down to the rocks was a beautiful walk on a wide gravel path surrounded by birch, spruce, and fern cover.

From atop a lookout, your first impression of the Rocks.

A stairwell takes you down to the beach where you can walk amid the very cool rocks.
