Cabot Trail Quiz – Cape Breton Highlands and Ocean Views

The Cabot Trail is a scenic loop of about 300 kilometers around northern Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. It winds along cliffs above the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Atlantic.

Much of it passes through Cape Breton Highlands National Park, where the Skyline Trail offers sweeping views and moose are common. Whale-watching tours from Pleasant Bay often see pilot whales.

The trail links Acadian Cheticamp, with its hooked rugs, and Gaelic culture at the Gaelic College in St. Ann's. Named for explorer John Cabot, it is busiest in fall during the Celtic Colours festival and blazing autumn leaves.
