I was a member of the East Coast Trail Association here in Newfoundland for many, many years. It has some of the most beautiful trail systems in Canada, if not in the world. The sights are breathtaking and often feature whales, moose and masses of edible wild berries on the routes.
When I had my B&B, tourists would arrive from France, UK, US, Australia and all parts of Europe and Asia just to hike this magnificent trail.
Grandgirl and her partner are now hiking different chunks of the trail every weekend, setting off early and then I go pick them up at their predestined spot. Yesterday was one such day. It was a 15km hike (10 miles) and I picked them up at Cape Spear at suppertime.
She agreed I could post some of her photos on my blog.
It's a rugged coastline. I never tire of photos of boiling seas and waves crashing on rocks.
ReplyDeleteThose trails are wonderful and I applaud young people using them. My 19 y/o grandson has been bicycling trails all over North America since he was 12 or 13. In the beginning he went with groups, but he's been onhis own the last several years.
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely beautiful. Thank you both.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, thank you and thank Grandgirl.
ReplyDeleteStunning landscapes. I envy you for living there.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! What a great experience for your Grandgirl and partner, and you get to share it vicariously. Good on them!
ReplyDeleteThank her for me. They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSome fantastic scenery there. We have a coastal path along the south side of Belfast Lough, which is scenic but nothing like as spectacular as the East Coast Trail.
ReplyDeleteLove coastal hiking! Out here we have our Cascade Mtns and the Pacific Coast Trail but I love to get to the ocean.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful scenery! I am glad that she and her partner are enjoying their hikes in the area.
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous scenery!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your tribute to Paulina. She was very interesting and I admire your ability to draw a boundary around sharing a residence, however briefly
So beautiful, thank you for the morning smile.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular views! Must have been interesting time with your B&B and international visitors.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your lovely comments.
