Coastal View

Taken 2005 August 18.

This is a view of the coast from the MacKinnon’s Brook Trail, which runs from Sight Point to the trail head at MacKinnon’s Brook. This gorgeous coastal trail offers beautiful vistas along most of its length (it starts and ends in forested areas) from a track high above the water. I have mild acrophobia, but it never kicks in on this stunning hike. The point protruding most to the right in this picture is the one seen in the coastal view from MacKinnon’s Brook Mouth. Here, one sees the Meadows in the centre, MacKinnon’s Brook Mouth before the furthest point in the picture, and Fair Alistair rising beyond. In this picture, one can barely see Cape George in the far distance to the right of the furthest point (it’s much clearer in the full-sized version and was easily visible to the naked eye). On this gorgeous clear day, the surf was pounding and it was audible even in the forested areas of the trail near Sight Point.
