NOVA SCOTIA - CABOT TRAIL

WELCOME TO THE WORLD FAMOUS CABOT TRAIL

Cape Breton Island is rated #1 Island to visit in Continental North America- Travel & Leisure Magazine
The Cabot Trail is considered one of the world's most scenic destinations, with stunning ocean vistas, old growth forests, rock scarred by glaciers, the mysterious highlands!
The route measures 298 km (185 miles)






                                               There's only one road thru the trail


Views along the coast




Beaches are awesome


Our first view entering the trail!


Our first hike.. Skyline trail on the western side .... total time 3 hours


Once you reach the top you have choices...enjoy it & return OR climb down the stairs



We chose the stairs.. remember you have to come back UP....how many steps????
ALOT
BUT the view was breathless




Our next hike (not the someday!!!) was Middle Head on the eastern side. That only took 2 hours on a very HOT day!!


Dan played a joke on me...one minute he was there & the next he hid. He scared me...I thought for a minute I had to go back & find another man to train!!!








                              As we continued our trail there were many rugged costal lines      with the waves crashing the shoreline







Shoreline views





                                                       
                                        These are the views inland!

Had a nice lunch here! It's funny because everyone orders chowder or seafood
BUT I'm getting tired of that SOOOO I ordered chicken wings!!!
Check out their quote of the day...remember those days!!!


There's so much to see on this trail that we did it 3 times & saw something different every time. People come & do it in one day...you CAN"T enjoy the journey and feel the spirit when you rush it!! Kinda like life!!
