Stiles Cove Hike Monday

16/10/2014

Last Monday was the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday and we spent it hiking the East Coast Trail from Pouch Cove to Stiles Cove with Elizabeth's family! The 5 hour hike took us along picturesque coastline, through wooded areas, and on top of dramatic cliffs.

At the start of the hike, we weren't sure if we'd end up hiking the entire way from Pouch Cove to Stiles Cove, so we also dropped off a car near the middle, at Shoe Cove. Just in case we wanted to opt for a shorter hike.

We took the trail right along the coastline – from finger to finger.
We started at Pouch Cove where it was windy, blustery, and the ocean was wild. We all bundled up, and wondered if we were wearing warm enough clothes for the hike. Luckily, as we were walking along the trail, the views of Pouch Cove were stunning and the sunlight was streaming through the clouds.

It took us a couple of hours to make it to Shoe Cove, with many photo stops along the way. None of us had ever been on the trail before so we caught ourselves stopping to admire the views more than once. Elizabeth's mom also took the opportunity to pick some partridgeberries growing just off the trail during our frequent stops.

We stopped at Shoe Cove for lunch with the intention of only walking for another little while before turning around and walking back to the car. However, we just couldn't get enough of the trail and decided to keep on keeping on even after Peter injured his ankle. Along the way we crossed countless footbridges, walked through grassy fields, and looked over the edges of cliffs at interesting rock formations below.
We ended up at Stiles Cove 5 hours after we started hiking. Stiles Cove itself was amazing, from above, and with the sun low in the sky, we walked back to the car on Satellite Rd. 

Here are some more pictures from our hike:
