Clyburn Valley Hike is back in 2008

One of my favorite all time hikes has always been the Clyburn Valley Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park.  It is a trail for all seasons as the trail is groomed for cross country skiing in the winter. One winter,  I was very lucky and saw a rare snowy owl on this trail just before the Gold Mine cabin.  This trail is a guided hike in the Hike the Highlands Festival this year on Sunday, September 21 at 10:00 am. 

There are so many nice features about this trail – you walk along the Clyburn River,  you past by one of the world’s top golf courses Highlands Links,  fish the Clyburn river for trout, you can explore the Gold Mine Buildings, see wildlife -usually moose, and birds,  plus hugh rocks that came down Franey Mountain. The trail is 9kms return and is relatively flat terrain most of the way.

Here are a few pics below I took the other day while hiking the Clyburn Valley trail.
