The Cape Breton Cabot Trail, Nova Scotia

It was the middle of October when we left and the leaves were almost all turning color and starting to fall off to the ground. I left Saint John, New Brunswick to make my way to Truro, Nova Scotia where I met up with my friend. We stayed in Truro for the first night and got everything ready for the early morning trip. We packed up the truck camper, and BBQ (which is very important on a camping trip), and ventured off early the next morning. However, me being a devout tea drinker, we had to stop at Tim Horton’s on the way, in fact we stopped there a number of times. It was about a 4-hour trip to the Cabot Trail. As we entered Cape Breton we stopped at the main tourism center, then headed out through highway 105 up to Victoria. The landscape on the Cabot Trail is out of this world breathtaking. It is also called “Cape Breton Highlands National Park”. We had a wonderful time. The rolling hills, cliffs and wildlife were immense. I remember seeing a large bald eagle flying over above me and circling around as if I was lunch. The majestic feel of the lookout points and the landscape take you right out of this world. This place is a must see for everyone. You will want to have more then one day to enjoy its beauty. The Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia is the place to visit.
