Cabot Trail
Awe-inspiring in all seasons

Most Scenic Drive. Best Island. Best Summer Escapes. World’s Greatest Road Trip. So many superlatives, so little time. This is Cape Breton’s Cabot Trail where breathtaking was invented. No matter how long you’re able to stay, it can never be long enough.

Cape Breton Highlands Park, Golf Courses and Acadian Villages

Travel this magnificent highway carved into the edge of ancient highlands where eagles soar above you, seals splash below you and moose wander alongside and you’ll understand where all the acclaim comes from. From the enchanting Acadian village of Cheticamp where world-famous hooked rugs are handcrafted to the greens of famed Highland Links Golf Course to the 950 square kilometres of Cape Breton Highlands National Park, this is a vacation destination where wonderful is waiting around every bend in the road.

Coastal Hiking In The Fall
There's something about hiking along a shoreline in the fall that I enjoy. It must be the cooler temperature, or the scenery when the leaves have started to fall off the trees. The grass is still green and I need to be outside!
