Before heading to Nova Scotia, we decided to backtrack about 40 minutes to visit Hopewell Rocks. Its a rock formation site that is completely drained during low tide and then the water rises dangerously high (if you didn't get out in time, you would drown) as the tide comes in and most of the rock formations are covered. There is a clock and warning that tells you when to come back up off the rocks to avoid being caught in a dangerous situation.
Since the tides rise so high, we had to walk down a huge scaffolding of stairs to get to the ocean floor. You can see the floor down below Lucas' shoulder.
And then we got down....Lucas was in amazement of how tall the rocks were.
Its hard to describe, but when the tide rises, most of those rocks would be covered.
See how the green water line is about 10-15 feet ABOVE my head on the rock to the right? Water goes all the way up there.
Liliana climbed all the way up here by herself and Felix scurried up shortly after.
Its about a 15 min hike down to the water, and after exploring, we hiked back up, had a quick snack and jumped in the car.....off to Nova Scotia!
