One Stop Shopping – Buy Both Passes Together
The board of directors of Hike the Highlands Festival is pleased to announce that in 2008 you can buy both the Hike the Highlands Festival Pass and Cape Breton Highlands National Park entry pass together from our festival. In past years, you had to go to different locations to buy each of them. In 2008, you will be able to purchase both passes on-line as well at the registration headquarters. Those hikers who have purchased a National Pass already can still purchase a Hike the Highlands Festival pass separately.
A Park Entry pass/permit is required for use of all facilities in the national park, including hiking trails. The pass is valid until March 31, 2009 and includes use of the groomed cross country ski trails in the winter. More than 2/3 of the trails featured in this year’s hiking festival are located in the national park.
Registration for the Hiking Festival will open in mid-July 2008. Hikers will pick up their passes at the registration headquarters at Glenghorm Beach Resort, Ingonish when they arrive. The registration fees for both passes together are as follows – Individual – $70.00, Couple- $110.00, Family – $130.00. Your registration fees includes guided hikes, evening presentations, opening & closing ceremonies, and more. For further information visit the registration page on the Hike the Highlands Festival website.
