Mountain Life founder Glen Harris is getting back behind the camera where it all began. In celebration of Canada’s 150th he and his clan just left on a on three-month Eastern Canada National Parks tour.

This week they explored Fundy National Park, near Saint John, NB. Keep a lookout for our photo essay series in the coming months. For daily updates you can follow Glen on Insta @glenedwardharris

Molly Kool, North America’s first female sea captain in 1939, lived just seconds outside of the incredible Fundy National Park. Not only was she Kool with a capital K, but she also picked the right spot to live.

Where else can you walk on the ocean floor, descend on endless singletrack bike trails, catch live music, explore covered bridges and paddle through cascading fog, all in one day—or maybe two?

 

bike 4
Who knew Fundy national Parks has over 150 km of single-track including this joyous never ending downhill?

Located just an hour and a half away from Saint John, NB, Fundy National Park provides.

Were we happy to discover it’s New Brunswick’s largest park and includes over 150 km of designated singletrack mountain biking. Some national parks like Pukaskwa are not big fans of sharing the trails, but Fundy embraces bike culture. Check out the 12k car drop “WhiteTail” or if you’re up for it, ride from the bottom up. It’s built well you can ride up the whole way without getting punched.

 

water lilies
Water lilies hide the largest tadpoles ever at Fundy’s Bennett Lake.

The campsites feel like an urban park of sorts, providing full-bars wireless throughout whether you like it or not (we never told our kids); plus washing stations, hot showers and laundry. There is a variety of camping accommodation from yurts , oTENTiks, camping with a fire, or camping with no fire, to a park hotel.

The Village of Alma is literally 10 seconds outside the park and is equipped with tour outfitters such as Fresh Air Adventures, seafood restaurants, ice cream, and camp supplies, including a small selection of beer and wine.

 

Estuary paddle

Fresh Air Adventures is located in the only heritage home in Alma that wasn’t blown away by Hurricane Hazel in 1954 and they offer a variety of trips depending on skill level and weather.

 

rising tide
The looming tide before it rises 20 feet above my head.

Waterfall hikes, estuaries, the highest tides in the world, miles of tidal sea floor, dark-tannin lakes full with giant tadpoles, theatre, zip lines, saltwater pool—Fundy has it all. Day of golf? They have that too.

It’s the type of park you could explore all summer, no problem.

CANADA 150: AN EASTERN CANADA NATIONAL PARKS TOUR — STOP 1. PUKASKWA
Waking up to the pitter patter of rain after arriving the night prior was a little discouraging. Until I realized it was the black flies banging against our tent fly, then it got a little more discouraging. After rolling over over and falling back to sleep like it was a bad dream, I woke and ventured out. Luckily they were not that ferocious and after a while you kind of forget about the swarms. Layers of bug dope later we made our way off the site and into the Park… Read more

Conceived by superhuman snowboarder @travisrice, the @naturalselection Tour highlights earth’s premier riders, from big-mountain mavens to Olympians, all competing on the most stoketastic—and unpredictable—terrain known to humankind.

THE UNINVITED INVITATIONAL April 13-16 @woodwardtahoe 😱 $40,000 cash prize purse and a whole lotta spotlight on a group of riders whose time has finally come!! Presented by @jess.kimura and @thenorthface and supported by @yeti @capitasupercorp @slushthemagazine @unionbindingco @smithoptics @sunbum @coalheadwear @fattire 🫡 watch the finals in person Saturday April 15 and join the crew + @btbounds for a public ride day Sunday April 16 @borealmtn. Time to make some history!!! #linkinbio to learn more!
Close your eyes and, for a moment, imagine yourself deep in the polar regions aboard an expedition ship stuck in the ice. The white pack-ice is dazzling, and the immobile vessel seems frozen in time and space. That experience piques your curiosity, doesn't it? Without having to go all the way to Antarctica, you can experience these icy sensations 30 minutes from Quebec City in one of Bora Boréal 's two floating cottages.
