For a real challenge, take a trip by bike around the
Cabot Trail, one of the most highly-rated cycling routes in the world. Tackle the terrain with gusto, or take the sightseeing-by-van option when the elevation is too challenging.
As you pedal along the
shore by the sea, through old-growth forest land up through soaring Highlands, keep an eye out for wildlife such as moose, eagles, deer, and whales playing in the bay.
