When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on. ~Thomas Jefferson

The Bay Roberts Shoreline Heritage Trail is a fabulous hike. It combines a delicious mix of ingredients into a stupendous meal for the body, mind, and soul. Combining gorgeous sea views, colourful rocks, and the sense of walking through and with history and it’s a winner of a hike. With both out and back and loop hiking options, you can explore an appetizer or a three course feast for your senses. The trail is in Bay Roberts and is about an hour from St. John’s. There are multiple entry points to the trail and several different parking areas. Put it on your list for your next hiking adventure. #HikeNL #ExploreNLWould you jump off this into the pond below? It’s about 7 metres above the water. It was so windy that we didn’t dare go to the end of it or we’d would have ended up in the water without a quality jump off the end (which looked important for a safe landing). You never know what adventures you will be invited to when you leave the beaten path. We’ll head back mid summer to perhaps give this leap a go. Or not. :-)My two best hiking buddies. We had a fine fine adventure together today hiking from Turks Gut to Brigus-Frog Marsh and doing some bushwhacking to make a loop for part of it. Wet feet. Wet dog. Happy hikers. Happy dog.Which stone are you? Round, flat, speckled, unique...I could have spent hours finding just the right one on the beach we visited as we hiked the Goat Shore in Harbour Main.Lighthouse roll call! What’s the last light or lighthouse you’ve hiked to? This is my latest-The Gasters Bay Light in Harbour Main. We hiked the Goat Shore then onto the light.Not the usual kinds of birds I usually see when out hiking coastal trails-but certainly colourful and fun to watch soaring on thermals.TA’s Facebook Page
