Return travel time: 2.5 to 5 hours Rating: Moderate Enjoy a moderately challenging back country hike in this 430-hectare park, which protects important natural and cultural values. The trail opens out to a look-off 60 metres (200 feet) above the rugged coast of the Bay of Fundy. Open year round from dawn until dusk daily. About 6 km (4 mi.) one way, 12 km (8 mi.) return.
