Follow the curve of the Cabot Trail, and you will find yourself in Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia, where the highlands meet the sea.

It"s where the Gulf of St. Lawrence meets the Atlantic, shaping rugged cliffs, highland plateaus and sheltered valleys, as seen in today"s image.
