TRAIL
INFORMATION
Thursday, September 16,
2010
Skyline - 9:00 am.
A dramatic
headland cliff overlooks the rugged coast from the end
of this level trail. You can enjoy an eagle's view of
the Cabot Trail as it winds its way down the mountain -
vehicles look like toys. Watch for whales in the Gulf of
St. Lawrence from the viewing decks. Moose, bald eagles,
bears and numerous boreal birds live in this habitat. Be
cautious with children around the cliffs and give moose
a wide berth. The headland plants are very fragile and
easily damaged by trampling, so stay on the boardwalk.
This trail
has undergone extensive work to protect the
environment from the impact of thousands of hikers.
