Day 50
Today was the Cabot Trail day. Named for John Cabot who arrived on these shores in 1497, the trail is a 300 kilometer (186 miles) loop which includes the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Our campground in Baddeck is at the bottom of the loop. The day began with Rosemary wearing a jacket. Many places to pull over for scenic overlooks with some outstanding coastal mountain views. We hiked the Skyline Trail, a 4.7 mile trip to a boardwalk with several levels over looking the cliffs. Spectacular views but the weather turned sunny and hot and the walk to the boardwalk was long. On other hikes we visited several waterfalls and did some coastal rock climbing. Lots of walking and driving making it a 10 hour day but definitely worth it. The day ended with Rosemary wearing a jacket.
