Another fine outdoor day is in the books. Today we felt like we were both walking forward as well as back in time. Grassy paths reminded us of the Kerry Way, rocky steep paths reminded us of trekking in Nepal, and ocean sized views reminded us of home.Happy Earth Day! We are celebrating by spending the entire day out under the open sky, breathing fresh air, and giving thanks for this planet and place we call home. #explorenlearn #ExploreNLA large day on two coastal trails in Conception Bay North. This is on the Shoreline Heritage Trail to Mad Rocks in Bay Roberts. I give this trail 5 stars and 2 thumbs up. Ocean views, heritage, and great hiking wrapped up in a lovely day out package. #HikeNL #ExploreNLAfter our two hikes in the Conception Bay North, we enjoyed the sunset at Salmon Cove Sands. Much refreshment came today from two kinds of saltwater-sweat and the sea (no tears for sure). #HikeNL #ExploreNLThere is a light at the end of the tunnel...errr hike. Heading out for a few days of r and r, no h and r. Hike and rest. In that order. Stay tuned #HikeNL #ExploreNLWhen the weather gives you a grey day for your hike, embrace it because you’ll see things in a new foggy light. #HikeNL #ExploreNLTA’s Facebook Page
