Driving will present the best opportunity to visit widely spaced attractions. A ride on the Trans-Canadian Highway through New Brunswick is not to be missed. You'll be happy to have seen attractions like the World's Largest Axe, the World's Longest Covered Bridge, and sunrise is gorgeous over the St. John river valley. Don't miss Magnetic Hill!

- Hopewell Rocks (Route 114 to Hopewell Cape, 47km southeast of Moncton, look for park signs), ☎ +1-877-734-3429 (questions@thehopewellrocks.ca, fax: +1-506-734-3357), [1]. 8am-8pm (Jun 22–Aug 16); 8am–6pm (Aug 17–Sep 2); 9am–5pm (Sep 2–Jun 21). This provincial park at Hopewell Cape is most likely what you are here for. The tide swings 14m (47') here, twice every 25 hours, and the park gives you the facilities and trails to explore it. For three hours before and after low tide, you can walk on the bay floor and look up at unique "flower pot" sandstone towers topped by trees. Be sure to check the low tide times[2][3], and aim to arrive one to three hours before the lowest tide. It is well worth planning your whole vacation to Eastern Canada around this time. Seeing the Hopewell Rocks at low tide is a deeply moving experience; it looks like something out of a Hollywood disaster movie. The ocean is literally not there. It looks like the apocalypse. Walking on the ocean floor is a unique, once in a lifetime experience, and it is not to be missed. $8/adult, discounts for children, students, seniors. (45.846948, -64.576263) edit
