Day 6 N.S. trip recap

This is how we spend out final day in Nova Scotia. I know this post is incredibly delayed... and I have no real valid excuse. I just haven't given myself the time I suppose. And I have been contemplating other matters that I wish to write about, but I want to get this out of the way first. So enjoy!

(oh and be prepared for lots of photos)

On this chilly overcast morning, We set out to go find another "local gem" according to the handy dandy map we had found a few days before. It was called Gaff Point. And it was spectacular. Probably the prettiest view I saw the whole time there. We drove for what seemed like a lot longer than it actually was, we turned onto a very bumpy paved road littered with chuck holes. The farther we went down the road, and the more secluded it got the more we began to question our directional skills. Perhaps We had turned to soon... and then the road bore to the right and boom. There we were. The earth dropped away into the ocean in massive brown cliffs. It was incredible. I knew we were in for a good hike. We pulled into the dirt parking lot packed up and set out.

As soon as we get out of our car, this was the beginning of the hike.

Off to a very good start.

Our goal? Out across the beach and out to the end of Gaff Point and back.

Someone else enjoying the chilly day on the beach.

About halfway across the beach. All these smooth, round rocks the whole way.

Hiking yay!

The ocean reclaiming the trees.

Weird space houses. Very modern.

 After a pretty long trek across the smooth stoned beach, and a lunch stop we made it to the trail head. Right away after heading out onto the trail and up away from the beach, the moss came back and the pines spread out in every direction. Back to the wild woods.

First glimpse of the trail after leaving the beach and beginning to head out to Gaff Point itself.

This is what a majority of the trail out to the point looked like. This stuff is supposed to only exist on nature shows...totally amazing.

The woods receded and this was the view. Then back in for a little while longer.

Another path view. I just can't get over it.

Some cool cliff side rocks out at the tip of Gaff Point.

"AHH IT'S SO PRETTY" that's what I was thinking in my head. yup.

 The point was awe inspiring. Crashing turquoise waves, jagged shale cliffs, tidal pools, old washed up lobster traps, and drift wood. Just a few of the things apprent during the hike. It was a wonderful walk with astoundong views of untouched Canadian maritime nature. Awesome. I just wanted to sit out there and watch the waves all day. I want to go do that now actually...

The sun came out on the return leg of our hike.
