Itinerary

    30 min

    15 min

  3. Ascend into the Cape Breton Highlands Forest Service roads. Travel along the mountaintops via graded dirt roads to reach the most exclusive view on Cape Breton Island. Cape Clear is not only amazing for its spectacular panoramic views but also because it is safely accessible only by a capable sports utility vehicle, meaning that most people don't get to experience this stunning vista. Cape Clear is truly one of those hidden gems you won't want to miss!

  4. Climb up Fraser's Mountain to Valley View Chalets, where you will behold a beautiful panoramic view of the Margaree Valley below. Here, you will learn about the ancient land you are standing on and discover fascinating history about the family that lived there 200 years ago.

About Cape Breton Island

Cape Breton Island, the northern part of Nova Scotia, is a rugged island of highlands, ocean cliffs and lakes, with strong Gaelic and Acadian roots.

Cape Breton Island forms the north-eastern part of Nova Scotia, joined to the mainland by the Canso Causeway. At its centre lies Bras d'Or Lake, a large inland sea of sheltered coves, and its northern plateau is protected as Cape Breton Highlands National Park, where the Cabot Trail loops along cliffs and over mountains above the Gulf of St Lawrence and the Atlantic.
