Flower Pot Rocks, Hopewell Cape, NB

Tuesday, September 17, 2013
I am very glad we stopped at the Hopewell rocks, aka, the flowerpot rocks.  I had never heard of them until we stopped at a visitor center so if you have not heard of them, you are not alone.  They are towers of rock and mud carved out by the extreme tides of the Fundy bay, the highest tidal difference in the world.  The towers are so broad that full sized trees grow on them and so tall that you would need a 40 foot ladder to get on them from the sea floor.  I thought they were very cool.




If you look carefully the steep staircase is between the rocks.

Seaweed covering the rocks

Can you imagine that within 6 hours this will be covered in water.




Hey you photo bombed!
