Irving Nature Park is hands down one of my favorite parks in Saint John, New Brunswick. Each time I visit, I head there in the evening so I can walk along the Marsh Boardwalk to enjoy the absolutely stunning sunsets. The last time I was there, I spent two hours on the boardwalk simply sitting and taking in the breathtaking scenery. Sometimes I manage to see a few Great Blue Herons in the distance. This time around, I saw a chunky little raccoon.

After my semi-successful attempt at solo camping in Kouchibouguac National Park, I decided to travel a bit further from my hometown to visit the world-renowned Fundy National Park. With the Bay of Fundy known for having the highest tides in the world, this national park had no shortage of local and international visitors. However, this park is certainly worth the crowds and price of admission. I mean, once you enter, you almost don’t need to go any further to witness its beauty. Of course that would be a shame but you get the point.
