Skyline Trail Canada Postcard

The Skyline Trail is the crown jewel of Cape Breton Highlands National Park, offering a dramatic boardwalk path that leads to a headland cliff. From the lookout, hikers are rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the winding Cabot Trail highway far below. The trail traverses a high plateau where the boreal forest meets the sea. It is a place of immense scale, where the rugged mountains of Cape Breton drop vertically into the ocean, often shrouded in a light Atlantic mist or bathed in the warm glow of a coastal sunset.
