Which way is the best way to Travel the Cabot Trail?

Story by: Team Destination Cape Breton

We’ve decided to settle the argument of which way to travel the Cabot Trail is the best! We have two teams of Instagrammers set to explore the Cabot Trail and to advocate for which way is the best. Let’s put an end to the argument and have a great time doing it!

Everything you need to know about the Skyline Trail

Join our two teams on their road trip around the Cabot Trail. They’ll be starting in Baddeck and traveling the trail in both directions and advocating for their direction. Which do you think is the best way to travel the Cabot Trail? Our teams will be showing you all the great experiences, accommodations and restaurants available to you on the Cabot Trail.

Follow all their adventures this week by following their accounts and keep an eye on @VisitCapeBretonIsland to watch for some of our favourite stories and posts!

The Gaels celebrated their culture not in huge buildings or sculptures but in their songs. Their songs told the stories of the people, the land, good times and bad, love's lost and yearned for.
