Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia protects a forested plateau cut by steep cliffs and deep river canyons along the Atlantic coast. About one-third of the Cabot Trail runs through the park. Its cool maritime climate and rugged landscape bring together Acadian, boreal and taiga habitats.
