Relatively easy, well-worn hiking trail. Part boardwalk. Watch for wildlife above, around and below you. Geat hike for families looking to stretch their legs, burn some kids' energy and get a good feel for the beauty in Cape Breton Highlands. If you're headed southwest from the Skyline Trail, stop in Chéticamp for some freshly caught seafood or a view of the sunset on the harbour.

Definitely a long hike to do in a single day. I'm pretty fit (bicycled across Canada to get to Vancouver Island) but hadn't done any alpine hikes in about a year; it took me 12.5 hours and I couldn't walk right for a few days afterwards. Don't let that dissuade you, though, just be prepared for a push if you're going to try to summit in a single day, or do some training beforehand. Keep your eyes out for the trail after the first couple waterfalls—it's marked with flagging tape and cairns that are sometimes hard to follow. Beautiful view of Elkhorn and the surrounding mountain range. Highly recommend this hike as (in my opinion) one of the best on Vancouver Island!

One of the best ways to experience the largest tide in the world is to hike and explore below the massive rock formations of Hopewell Rocks. Pretty stunning visual experience and great way to spend a day. Watch out for the waves coming back in.
