Cape Breton: Where Mountains Meet Sea

The Cabot Trail winds through Cape Breton Highlands, but its magic is where mountain meets sea. The park is a rare blend of ecosystems where Acadian, Boreal, and Taiga forests coexist on steep cliffs plunging into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. This dramatic landscape creates a unique habitat for moose, bald eagles, and the elusive Canada lynx. #Canada #CapeBreton #NovaScotia #ParksCanada 🇨🇦
