The scenery was spectacular. Many good hiking trails and at least the ones we hiked were well maintained. Opportunities to walk the coastline and the highlands. We did not stay overnight in the park but while there for two days we had no trouble finding restrooms or picnic sights. Stop at a visitor center (one at Cheticamp and at Ingonish...

This is such a beautiful area that I'm sure the entire park is worth spending days in; however, since we were on tour, we only got to see the Bog, but it was very interesting to see the wetlands and the different types of plants and flowers.

I was amazed at the view and the only thing I disliked about the National Park was the fact that I was so excited seeing the Moos walk out in front of us that I forgot to take a photo. I give Cape Breton Highlands National Park a 10 out of 10.

The National Park is gorgeous. Lots of hiking trails of various distances and difficulty available and quite clearly marked. As we climbed in the park we were surprised to see quite a bit of snow still in the highlands. The views are just stunning. Great place to have to go back to again!

The far north points of Cape Breton left me breathless. I had no idea what to expect upon arrival but was stunned with the amazing views, cliffs, mountains (yes...mountains....and as an Alberta girl, I was surprised to say that!), beaches and lovely towns. Worth a trip for sure....
Note....it doesn't look far on the map but the roads have low...

The Cape Breton Highlands National Park has so much to offer. There is the Cabot Trail - a dream road. The sandy beaches on the east side are excellent for a swim. Then there are a lot of great hiking trails. Here my favorites: Skyline, Coastal and Franey. There are beautiful picnic areas too. One must not forget the flora...
