Every once in awhile you get lucky with some pictures – being in the right place at right time. That is how I can describe my hike recently on the Clyburn Valley Trail in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. It was full of surprises with flora and fauna and of course great scenery. I got lucky and was able to get close to two pileated woodpeckers, and a grouse during my hike.
This trail continues to be one of my all time favorites. I always enjoy walking along the river, see Franey mountain in the foreground, the Clyburn Valley, the hardwood stands, the boulders, and the gold mine building ruins. It is a popular trail to see a moose and last year at Hike the Highlands Festival our group did see one.
