The Two RV
Gypsies: Full-Time RVers at Cape Breton Highlands National Park Nova Scotia |
| Cape Breton Highlands National Park was the first national park in the Maritimes, situated in the northern section of Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island, preserves 950 square kilometers of wilderness. Almost half of the Cabot Trail, completed just four years before the opening of the park, encompasses it on three sides. On the western edge, the rugged coastline is exposed to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, while the eastern shores that slope more gently to the Atlantic Ocean curve to form more hospitable little coves and bays. | |
| Cape Breton Highlands National Park is known for its spectacular highlands and ocean scenery. The Cape Breton Highlands are the most striking feature of northern Cape Breton. Steep cliffs and deep river canyons carve into a forested plateau bordering the Atlantic Ocean. Part of the Cabot trail, a world-famous scenic highway, runs through the national park along the coasts and over the highlands. The cliffs of Cape Breton Highlands National Park tower over the rich, natural heritage that is all around. Home to the world-famous Cabot Trail, the land is blessed with spectacular scenery. It is full of beauty and wonder. | |

| Karen Duquette really liked the way the big boulder shown below sits part way in the ocean and part way on shore and is divided by different colors and has greenery growing in the cracks of the boulder. Natural beauty at its best. | |
