The Rocks-(two minute drive from the Hopewell Rocks Motel &
Country Inn) Other names given these massive rock formations is
"The Largest Flower Pots In The World" where spruce trees
grow on top. These formations are the result of 300 million years
of battle like thundering of ocean against land, with the land being
the conquered, shaped by its captor "The Mighty Bay of Fundy."
Here the tides are the highest in the world, measuring 14 meters
(48 feet) in Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick. At the Hopewell Rocks
Park, three hours after high tide wind down the stairway and walk
on the ocean floor. Explore the caves that once were solid cliffs,
carved out by the constant rising, falling and pounding of the Bay.
