Top Family Friendly Hikes in Halifax
"While it can be a bit of tricky trail to find, it surely doesn't disappoint. With cliff side views, beautiful wild flowers, plenty of species of birds, what isn't to like about Peggy's Cove?. Keep in mind the trails can be muddy, often unmarked and sometimes you will need to do a bit of climbing, so it may not be best trek for the grandparents."
