Skyline Trail, Nova Scotia

Many people consider Cape Breton's Highlands National Park to be one of Canada's greatest national parks, due to the breathtaking views from anywhere in the park. Rolling hills, seashore cliffs, swampy marshlands, and an endless ocean, all of which are combined in this great place.

The Skyline Trail, which offers one of the greatest lookout points in the park, is one of the most popular hikes in the park. The hike is short enough to complete in a few hours but long enough to truly immerse you in Nova Scotia's magnificent surroundings. The trail is quite easy to follow, the most difficult section is a set of stairs. Aside from spectacular views of the Atlantic, Skyline Trail offers plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities, look for bald eagles, whales, bears, and moose, which are the park's most famous species.
