Pull over at this breathtaking stop along the Cabot Trail to witness a truly dramatic landscape where mountains plunge into the sea. From here, you'll have a panoramic view of the Aspy Fault, a massive, 40-kilometer-long crack in the Earth's crust that has shaped this entire valley. It’s a fantastic spot for photos, especially in the fall when the old-growth forests below erupt in vibrant color, and interpretive signs share the fascinating geology of how this part of the world was formed.
