Hiking the coastal Bordeaux Trail | Arnolds Cove, Newfoundland Literary Hiker 2024-06-01 | This out-and-back hike in Newfoundland's Avalon region takes you along the coast, winding through stony beaches and coastal forest with great views throughout. It's mostly flat and starts out with a wide path, which does get narrower in a few sections. The trailhead is in the town of Arnold's Cove and has space for a few cars to park. When we hiked here, garbage bags were provided at the trailhead for visitors to help pick up trash (which is why we're holding a garbage bag in some of the footage). Because of plastic pollution in the ocean, a lot of trash does wash up on shore. The people who maintain this trail have made creative reuse of some of the buoys and other debris, as shown in the video.Distance: 5.3 miles, including a small loop at the end (according to AllTrails) (~8.5 km)Elevation gain: 334 ft#newfoundland #silenthiking #canadatravel

It's located right near the Bright Angel trailhead, and you can take a shuttle to other locations in the canyon. The least expensive room option is the standard room, which has a sink in the room but a shared shower room in the hallway. Rates vary depending on the season. It's a good basic room. The walls are thin, so you may hear other people in adjacent rooms, but earplugs help and the two times I visited, people were pretty quiet.#brightangellodge #grandcanyonnationalpark #travel
