Mid October and that means that the fall foliage around parts of Nova Scotia are looking fantastic. So I decided to jump into the truck and drive along the glooscap trail and hike a trail somewhere between economy and advocate harbour.
I decided to stop in at Thomas Cove and hike the headland trail (~4.4 km). It’s been a few years since I’ve done this trail so it would be nice to see what has changed.

From the parking lot, the headland trail is to the left and is generally considered the better maintained trail as each trail has different land owners (from what I understood last time I was there), but this is considered the trail for better viewpoints.
Within 100m, you get a taste of the coastal views of the bay of fundy right off the bat. Then you follow the signs to the left to continue along the trail. You’ll be doing a kilometre as an out and back, but you will do a loop once you cross the foot bridge and reach the fork in the trail where at the time of my hike had a down tree and one was cut to make a bench.
Actually you will find another bench that offer yet another great view looking towards five islands. You will have marked view points to take a break and enjoy the views.
Note that cell service is spotty most of the hike was offline (Bell subscribers).
