Cape Breton Highlands

We've spent the last five days travelling through this park

The park situated at the North end of Cape Breton Island has got to qualify as a little bit of heavon on earth. The Cabot Trail is a road that runs all around the outside of it along the coast.

The fall colours are just starting




Set th brakes on fire coming down this 300 Metre grade






The highlands are interspersed with deep valleys and thousands of little streams and brooks and water falls



You can look back and see the road along the coast winding through small villages and up escarpments again




















Slept at the base of this place one night along the ocean


















































After a while it all kind of left you numb. Beauty overload if there is such a thing.

    Yes I do believe that there is such a things as "beauty overload". When Danielle and I were on the Cape Breton trail and when I was in Australia I felt the same.
