“It was that kind of Day” at Hike the Highlands Festival
Moose crossing at moose sign, Benjies Lake, Cape Breton Highlands National Park
Day five of the festival involved three hikes, Bog, Benjies Lake, and Skyline. Over 100 hikers were on the trails today in our festival. The Morrisons from Scotland joined us today and the Caseys from Margaree at Skyline. A hiker from Australia spent time chating with us before the Skyline Hike. And four moose were seen today and one rabbit. It was that kind of day as Lloyd Robertson would say with CTV News.
The weather was different today – sunny in Ingonish and cold and light drizzle on Cheticamp side of Cape Breton Highlands National Park where the hikes were taking place. All the hikers had their jackets on in the morning. It got better in the afternoon. The wind was down at the end of the Skyline trail.
A moose was seen at Benjies Lake trailhead crossing at the moose sign and 3 moose and one rabbit on the Skyline trail. First year Guide at the festival Angie Payne wowed the hikers with her knowledge, wit and Newfoundland accent.
Please find a few pictures of today’s hike at Benjies Lake and Skyline trails.
