Cape Breton Highlands National Park

Nova Scotia

About this location

The Cabot Trail winds around the northern cape of Cape Breton Island, where the highlands fall directly into the sea. This is Gaelic Canada — Mi'kmaq territory, Scottish settlement, a landscape that would not look out of place in the Outer Hebrides. Bald eagles nest in the river valleys. Pilot whales surface offshore. In autumn the highlands turn every shade of red, gold, and amber. For those with Cape Breton roots — or simply a soul that responds to this kind of dramatic, sea-edged country — it is home.

Passage
