Hike the Cabot Trail, Cape Breton
Hiking along the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island, has become a must when visiting Nova Scotia. The Cape Breton Highlands National Park has many trails, ranging form short family walks to spectacular hiking expeditions like the Skyline Trail, Pollett's Cove trail or Roberts Mountain. There are dozens more within and around the communities, beach walks are common as well. Remember that you are in the wild, animals live there and it is their home you are visiting.
