Hopewell Rock – the “Land of the Lost”?

Did you ever see that television series, Land of the Lost?” Well, if you didn’t, it was about a family that somehow went back in time to the era of the dinosaurs. This is what Hopewell Rock reminds me of. The rocks are massive. I felt like a teeny little ant walking around these rocks, and easily could have imagined a dinosaur or two turning the corner, ready to eat me for dinner.
That’s not why people visit Hopewell Rock though. They go to see the world’s largest tidal swings, which is what makes the Bay of Fundy so famous. These tides will swing as much as 50 feet in one day. For a brief few hours of time, you can stand on the ocean floor. Pretty cool, eh?
Hopewell Rock is the must-see tourist attraction in New Brunswick. We drove along the coastline, which was a beautiful drive to get there. Some people will stay the whole day to see low tide and high tide. And some brave ones will even take a kayak out to get a close up view of the tide and interesting landscapes. The tides come in and go out so fast, the scary thing about kayaking is getting stuck in a current going back out to sea!
Watch the video to see the ocean floor during low tide!
