Meat Cove Mountain & Cape St. Lawrence/Lowland Cove Hikes

Day 3 of Hike the Highlands Festival started with a new weather forecast- showers and rain. But luck prevailed and over 50 hikers enjoyed the  day hiking Meat Cove Mountain and Cape St. Lawrence/Lowland Cove without any rain. Both hikes today required good hiking boots and poles due to the terrain but you were rewarded with incredible views. 

The Cape St. Lawrence/Lowland Cove hike featured incredible coastal scenery, warm temperatures and only a little wind this year. Hikers were treated to lots of  whale sightings and yes even a few bulls…. In the past hikers, were greeted by horses at Cape St. Lawrence.

The day ended with a nice meal at Meat Cove Welcome Centre and Tea Room. Special thanks to Derrick MacLellan and his staff for their great hospitality and allowing us to do our registration here. 

Day 4 hikes are NHN trails (4 kms) in the morning and Sugar Loaf Mountain in the afternoon. Our third workshop takes place on day four – Nordic Walking – Hiking with Poles followed by a barbecue.  

Below are a few pictures of the Cape St. Lawrence/Lowland Cove hike.
