Get ready for one of the most breathtaking views in all of Cape Breton. The Skyline Trail is an absolute must-do, taking you through boreal forest before opening up to a dramatic headland cliff with panoramic ocean vistas. The famous boardwalk section guides you down towards an eagle's-eye view of the Cabot Trail winding below and the vast Gulf of St. Lawrence, where you might even spot whales. The full loop is about 8.2 kilometers and takes most people 2 to 3 hours, starting right from the trailhead parking lot; it's a relatively easy walk that delivers an unforgettable payoff.
