Still in Miramichi, and another day of hikes in Kouchibouguac National Park . After a foot blistering day on Kelly’s beach, we needed an easier, shorter walk to move our legs.
The trail of choice was Osprey trail, the photographer was highly amused by the French translation of this trail…and I fear Ospreys may forever have had their names translated to French in our household.
It was not a difficult trail…the trailhead started from the Fabien campground of Koubouchguac. (I had tried to get a campsite in the park when we crossed to the coast…but National Park campsites are hard to come by..!! ) Fabien is an unserviced campground, but the sites are lovely, and it backs onto the shore.
Peeking through the trees we could see these cool yurt things on stilts.
As we prepared to head out on the trail, there were a couple of hikers that set off as we were donning boots. Before we left, they returned and began liberal application of bug spray……….taking that cue…we followed suit. It was definitely a walk where slowing down and/or stopping was not really an option without becoming bug lunch. It was very pretty tho..!!
The outer part of the loop opened out to the shoreline.
It was not a challenging walk in terms of elevation. It was also a very well marked trail.
But absolutely no sign of any Ospreys, Osprey nests……or anywhere that looked like maybe Ospreys had been….!!!
There truly is something very soothing about breathing ocean air…….and its always a treat to be looking at beautiful views on a beautiful day.
….and as if to make up for the lack of Balbuzards……we found some funny little fun guys on the way back around….!!
As I said, a short pretty walk, punctuated by biting beasties……..

Too bad those hungry beasties keep following you around. I’m glad I’m able to see the sights through your posts, Those Yurt like things look interesting were you able to see inside one?
