Cabot Trail Day 1

I took on 3 hikes today - 8.4km, 7.5km and a short 0.5km one to finish a day of hiking! For a novice hiker, the first one was a challenge but enjoyable and well worth it for the views at the top! There was another warning for black bears in the area but I didn’t come across any while I was there. Arriving at the second trail, there was a gathering of people...not far from the trail was a moose just minding it’s own business eating the trees! Unfortunately it didn’t want it’s face in the picture!! I treated myself to a lobster roll for dinner and watched the sunset from Pleasant Bay beach! What a day! Everyone I told I was coming here told me how beautiful the island is, but nothing really prepares you for it’s beauty, especially when the sun is shining! Tomorrow I will drive the rest of the Cabot Trail and maybe take on another couple of hikes along the way.Read more
