Hopewell Rocks

Last night, July 23, 2013, we decided to go to Hopewell Rocks evening though it was raining. We went about 6:30pm or so. Lucky for us, we found a motel that was about 2 minutes away. We went there at low tides and the lowest for the 23rd was at 8:10pm. Imagine walking on the floor of the ocean. Jim described it as AWESOME. For me, it seem unbelievable. I was also filled with awe.

They are also called Flowerpot Rocks or simply the Rocks. They are formed by tidal erosion and stand between 40 - 70 feet tall. They are located on the shores of the upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy at Hopewell Cape near Moncton, New Brunswick. The base of the rock formations are covered in water twice a day. Again, we were able to view the formations because we were there at low tide. We took plenty of pictures including of a rock formation named Lovers Arch.
