Our Canadian adventures start

The hiking trail that winds through the Appalachian mountains known as the Appalachian Trail continues on the Canadian side of the border from Maine through New Brunswick over Mt Carleton.  Andrew of course climbed it  while I did hand washing at base camp. It was a 8 km bike ride followed by a steep climb up Mt Sagamook - 400 m up over a 2 km track - and a further 5 km hike to Mt Carleton, and return the same way.







The view from the mountain.







And looking down at the campsite.  We camped at Mt Carleton Park.  We were amazed how this area of New Brunswick seems to be predominantly French speaking.







Fellow campers, fishermen, gave us some fresh trout caught that morning.  Here they are being prepared.







And on the plate.


The Williams waterfall in the park.  A great torrent of water rushing.  Impressive as always.  Love waterfalls.
