A weekend on the Cabot Trail

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia · 3 days · 4 stops

We came up to Cape Breton for a wedding in Inverness, stayed in one of the cabins at the Glenora Inn & Distillery, and ate at the restaurant there.

On Sunday we drove the Cabot Trail counter-clockwise, since we were starting from Inverness, and hiked the Skyline Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

We did the whole trip in my Rivian, all electric. It charged overnight at the inn, and there are chargers all through the park; we stopped at one at Cape Smokey.
