It's a warm autumn morning when my friend, Danielle, and I head out for a 3-day backcountry trip in Kouchibouguac National Park.

With over 40kms of trails, Stony Swamp has a diverse habitat that is home to more than 700 species of plants and 251 species of birds!

Shirleys Bay trail is a one hour loop that winds through a young forest and fields of wildflowers. It's perfect for families and bird lovers!
