Même sous les nuages, même avec la neige, c’est assez impressionnant. Pas vu d’original, malheureusement, mais une très jolie grouse!

The trail itself is boring. Only the final point at cliff worth this whole way to walk.

150 Pipers Glen Rd, Scotsville, NS

Nice little hike but have good footware. Trail an up and back no longer a loop. Fairly steep in spots. Would not be great after a rain. But on this day it was fantastic but a little too busy for our liking. Beautiful falls for sure
Polly Cove Hiking Trail 4.8 33 reviews
Prospect Rd, Halifax, NS

Wonderful area for a walk, though few marked paths make navigation something to focus on. Limited parking and signage also suggests you will not see a crowd if you take a walk around the area!

It's a great place to go hiking anytime of the year, but the trails can be challenging. They are not well grooomed with nice wide gravel roads like you find on the Canada trails system but raw trails thru the woods, with the exception of the...

Nice hike with opportunity to take bigger loops. Spent 3 hrs ish here. Muddy at times. No trees down or paths blocked. The hike has signage but easy to get lost when you get to the other loops section so pay attention you’re following the right...

This is a very cozy oceanfront lookout. I would be here all of the time if I didn't live 20 hours away. Restroom facility and plenty of relaxing areas.

Joseph Howe Falls 4.8 22 reviews
29 Park Rd, Truro, NS

Absolutely beautiful spot. I would definitely make the day trip again. Great playground for little ones and lovely trials. Note: there are lots of stairs (Jacob's ladder) so not all trails are young child or stroller friendly but still lots to do!

Although my stay here was unplanned and last minute, this inn was a pleasant surprise. The king bed was extremely comfortable. The room was very clean, has all you need, and is modestly quaint. Desk attendant was friendly and very helpful.

As many others have said this is a well maintained trail. It definitely takes time to do the whole trail and you do need to be prepared for that. Always a good way to spend an afternoon.
