Cabot Trail/Skyline Trail
National Geographic best trip 2013 - Nova Scotia’s treasured island
Cape Breton岛位于Nova Scotia的东北，西临圣劳伦斯湾, 东面是一望无际的大西洋，长达1000多公里的海岸线到处是自然美景, 不愧被国家地理杂志评为2013年的二十个最佳景点之一. 详情请见http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/best-trips-2013.
Cape Breton Highlands National Park在岛的北部，环公园的Cabot Trail是一条蜿蜒于山水间的公路, 沿路美景连连, 是观赏Cape Breton岛的最佳去处. 来之前朋友警告说山路危险, 一定要顺时针开在山壁一侧. 实际上路况非常好, 完全不必担心.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, fishermen and settlers from France and Scotland came to Cape Breton Island, drawn by its rich fisheries, ample timber, and the chance of a better life. Originally settled by the ancient ancestors of the Micmac people, this island off Nova Scotia now lures visitors with its abundant wildlife, natural beauty, and assembly of French, Micmac, and Celtic cultures.
One-fifth of Cape Breton is preserved as a national park, laced by 25 hiking paths and looped by the Cabot Trail, a 186-mile driving route frequently ranked among the world’s most spectacular. “I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes, the Alps, and the Highlands of Scotland,” said inventor Alexander Graham Bell, who spent 37 summers here. “But for simple beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all.”

从天际线小道回望Cabot Trail.
Cape Breton Highlands National Park有25条步道, 其中的天际线小道（Skyline trail）是最著名的. 小道来回7.5公里, 对全家来说是不小的挑战. 不过辛苦一定有回报, 壮阔的美景让我们久久不能平静.
因为天际线小道的后一半在山脊上, 防风变得非常重要. 前一天的风速达到25公里, 我们不得不改变了计划.

天际线小道的前一半平坦好走, 有一些乏味.
