Saint John NB to Fundy National Park of Canada
Leaving Saint John we head on Hwy 111 on the Fundy Coastal Drive to St. Martins to view the caves. We weren’t exactly sure where they were so we stopped and asked where people were setting up tables. We found out a cruise ship was in Saint John and about 9 buses were heading this way with tours. We went through a covered bridge and 1 km down the road; a large parking lot and a restaurant advertising “World Famous Seafood Chowder.” Of course we tried the chowder after checking out the caves.

Tides out, caves accessible
Our plan was to head to Moncton, then travel to the Hopewell Rocks and
sights in between. But we decided to
just camp in Fundy National Park that way we see more of the park as well. The GPS is programmed and it takes us on a
short cut, when the road turns to gravel we decided this is not the road we
want to take with the RV’s. It was getting
scary. So back we went to Sussex Corner
and followed the highway signs instead.
Arriving at the park there were sites available in Chignecto North
campground, treed gravel sites. After a
quick lunch we headed to Point Wolfe with a quick stop at Buttland Lookout and
Dickson Falls. We hiked the Coppermine
Trail 4.4 km and then down to the beach 1 km.
Then we drove to Herring Cove for another great view of the Bay of Fundy
and travel through another covered bridge built in 1992.
