Climbers and trekkers from around the world are drawn to its vertical walls, but the valley’s quiet trails and sweeping views also offer an extraordinary experience .

Cape Breton Island sits off the eastern coast of Nova Scotia and welcomes visitors with rolling hills, wide waters and a calendar full of engaging experiences. In the village of Baddeck, the shores of the Bras d’Or Lake reflect early morning sun on fishing boats and sailboats alike, and nearby Kidston Island, reached by a small summer ferry, holds a historic lighthouse and a sandy beach that invites relaxed afternoons by the water.
