THIS is Canada’s ULTIMATE FALL road trip! 🍁 (Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia)

Publicado 2023-11-12
Welcome to Cape Breton Island, an island on the northeastern end of Nova Scotia known for its coastal scenery, highlands, Celtic and French heritage, outdoor adventure, and the Cabot Trail, a 298 km drive that is said to be one of the most scenic in the world.
Experiencing the Cabot Trail in the fall has been on our bucket list for years and for our one big fall adventure this year we spent 5 days checking out its different hikes, charming towns, local eats, waterfalls, and so much more. And it did not disappoint! With beautiful foliage and dramatic views, this is easily one of the best fall road trips in Canada, if not all of North America!
This video was filmed between October 15-20, 2023

I love that analogy of "a bag of skittles" for describing the trees, it was so appropriate! And the videography of the falling leaves at the waterfall, outstanding!
-
Great work A+K. Your series on eastern Canada has been mesmerizing and spectacular.😍
-
This entire series has been over the top fantastic.....I never thought I would enjoy anything more than your Alaska trip......this is right there with it.....
-
The weather wasn’t cooperating but you still manage to make another stunner. Awesome video as always.

Sou'west Nova here and I've been to Cape Breton many times. It is indeed Canada's jewel. I truly believe that once you visit, you leave a piece of your heart there and whenever someone mentions "roadtrip" l'm thinking Cape Breton man. For a guy from sou'west nova it's the ultimate road trip. Super hospitable people who welcome you right into their homes and cook you some grub. I've fished up and down the coast of BC and Queen Charlotte Islands now called Haida Gwaii and to me Cape Breton is every bit as beautiful. It's been 20 years since l've been up there, l'm almost 65 and she will undoubtedly be calling to me and God willing l will answer. Wait, l think l hear her now 😁💖

Gorgeous fall colors. Drone footage just keeps getting better and better.

Those sunset shots were some of the best I've seen...! Amazing
-
Great video! I was on Cape Breton Island in August with my middle son. Am always so impressed with your videos and how you hit so many points of interest that I think that I should always wait to see a video of yours on a destination before going there lol. I was about a week ahead of you guys to Tuktoyaktuk last summer(2022) and wish I'd seen your video first. This past summer, I had planned on driving from home in Saskatoon SK through Labrador and then to Newfoundland before going to Nova Scotia but changed my plans to spend more time with my son and visit more friends in Ontario. So, I skipped Labrador and NL. Your videos on Newfoundland have convinced me to make that trip next summer. All the best A&K !!

Thank you for your Nova Scotia Canada video. It was absolutely beautiful great views, great lakes, enjoying life. You both are excellent. Please keep putting more beautiful videos like that. C. 🤗❤️
-
Just Wow! It is almost like someone rolled a carpet over the mountain with the gorgeous fall colors. Stunning sunset and such a majestic waterfall at the end. Cannot thank you guys enough for bringing us such epic videos ♥️
-
Wow! That scenery was beautiful and colorful; thanks for changing your itinerary to enjoy the fall colors at their peak and then to share them with us! This Canadian trip has been amazing !
-
Amazing video. Love you guys. Thanks for sharing your adventures
-
Thank you Adam and Kathryn for another great video. You continue to do an amazing job of showcasing our country.
-
Ingonish beach used to be nothing but sand. The power of nature is truly and spectacularly AWESOME!!
-
Beautiful Cape Breton. As a Newfoundlander I visit NS as much as I can. Usually stay at the Lynwood in Cape Breton, use that as our central point and travel out from there. Nice people, gorgeous province. Friendly people. I reminds me of NL but just better taken care of.
-
The waterfall at the end with the falling leaves could not have been more perfect! All of this looks amazing though!
-
Thank you. Another entertaining video. It’s been 47 years since we drove the Cabot Trail. Guess it’s time we go again.
-
Loved the video! We live in Maine and are heading to the Cabot Trail this coming September with our 5th wheel. Can't wait to see it all!

As a Canadian who has gone coast to coast I say to myself after each video you post that you have reached the pinnacle...and then you outdo yourselves. Spectacular treatment of Cape Breton. I agree on the reviews not matching the experience. My jam is far north BC, Yukon and Northwest Territories. People like to exaggerate the ruggedness it seems. Truth is you could do most of it in a Toyota Corolla.
