We drive the renowned Cabot Trail (counter-clockwise) and do some beautiful hikes in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. The road is very steep and windy, we're glad the caravan is still at the campsite.
On one of the walks some locals give us a great tip two other hikes just outside the park. We drive to White Point and walk the lookout trail to the Two Tittles (two rocky outcrops just off the coast). It is a magnificent view. Very windy though!
We drive on to see where Giovanni Cobotto (John Cabot) landed in 1497. We try to get to the Kauzmann trail but the state of the access logging road is beyond our 4x4 capabilities.
Back on the Cabot trail we do another short walk and the kids collect another doggy tag from Parks Canada. They hand these out at most National Parks and National Historic sites once the kids complete a related activity book. They have quite a collection already!!
All in all we drive about 350 km in 6h30m and we arrive tired and hungry back at camp around 7:30pm. Another night with the heating on as frost is in the air...
