New Pages on Your Nova Scotia HolidayCape Split hiking trailI have been wanting to hike the Cape Split trail which overlooks the Bay of Fundy for several summers. Something always seemed to get in the way. Well, I was determined last summer that nothing was going to stop me. Well, nothing did!It was absolutely fantastic! A beautiful sunny day. Cape Split is definitely ones of the best hiking trails in Nova Scotia. Check out my story and pictures on my site. I would love to hear from you if you have done this wonderful trail. The Balancing RockI also had the chance to hike the Balancing Rock trail on Long Island. Long Island is part of Digby Neck which is on the southern part of the Bay of Fundy.This is a short trail but one that I would definitely recommend. The trail leads you through lovely woods to the eastern side of Long Island. A set of steep stairs awaits you and will help you make your way downward toward the shores of the Bay of Fundy and the rock formation known as The Balancing Rock. My story and pictures will lead you there! Brier IslandThere is only one way to describe Brier Island - mystical!! If you get the chance to go - just go - no questions asked - no excuses - just go! This little place is fantastic.We took a whale-watching excursion with Mariner Cruises and had a fantastic time. We saw a right whale very close to our boat. The right whale is an endangered species which made it even more special. She was the only one we would see but we didn't care.....we were thrilled in her presence. 44 Awesome Things on the Cabot TrailI am very proud to say that I have written my first e-book!44 Awesome Things on the Cabot Trail plus 17 awesome tips for along the way 44 Awesome Things on the Cabot Trail is filled with great information about what to see and do during your tour of the Cabot Trail.
