What's it like?
Continuing west along the coast from Cape Enrage, drivers will encounter the Fundy Trail, a 10-kilometre stretch of road hugging the cliffs and dotted with stops for views and hikes.
At the end of the road is the Big Salmon River and a chance to hike to a picturesque hunting and fishing lodge built by the family of U.S. publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst.
The Hearst Lodge is worth the almost two-hour hike it takes to reach the remote getaway deep in the New Brunswick forest.
It was the same forest that helped provide the paper for the Hearst publishing empire from the 1940s until the early '90s when the woodlands were sold to the province of New Brunswick.
A crystal clear salmon pool lies near the Hearst lodge - although the wild Atlantic salmon have long since disappeared as they have from so many North American streams and rivers. But when the salmon were plentiful, so were visitors to the lodge, including the likes of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
If you know of a great destination we're missing,
