ACADIAN TRAIL 08 OCTOBER 2011

The Acadian Trail a loop style trail proved to be much more challenging then expected. Due to weather conditions the previous few days before the walk event with bridges washed out along the trail.

However the 74 walkers continued their hike up Cheticamp Mountain to a spectacular view of the village and coastline below.

The walk leader (Rollie) takes a break to take the following photos as the walkers approach the finish point. At this junction we were well spread out as we descended down the mountain.
