Hikers had a beautiful sunny, fall hiking day to enjoy the Pollett’s Cove hike on Day 5 of Hike the Highlands festival. Led by veteran guide Dave Williams, thirty -four hikers enjoyed the spectacular scenery at Otter’s Brook and Pollett’s Cove. Interesting enough it rain most of the day on the other side of the highlands at Ingonish.
Along the way, hikers had the opportunity to cross streams including the one at Otter Brook. This was a good day to use trekking poles for the hike and most hikers did for the hills – up and down and for balance crossing the streams.
