Day 2 – White Point & Sugar Loaf hikes
White Point
Close to 100 hikers enjoyed the hikes on Day 2 of 2011 Hike the Highlands Festival at White Point and Sugar Loaf . It was a day to enjoy great coastal scenery, a climb up a steep mountain and to prepare you with some wet weather.
White Point hike provided great coastal scenery, the history of the Unknown sailor and Two Tittles. This trail is featured in many photos especially Wally Hayes, retired professional photographer with NS Tourism. He enjoyed this trail at sunrise, sunset and during the day.
Sugar Loaf Mountain
Sugar Loaf , one of the classic hikes on Cape Breton Island and also part of 3 Peaks Challenge, made for some quick pictures at the top as the skies opened up with rain. There are some great pics of nearby mountains, North Harbour and 4 mile beach on the summit.
Day 3 hikes include Meat Cove Mountain and Money Point Gulch, both feature outstanding views at the top of each mountain. Don’t forget your camera on this sunny day.
