As Jim Morrison once famously sang, “keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel”. Wise words indeed, especially for those who have the good fortune to experience one of these spectacularly scenic drives.

Cabot Trail, Nova Scotia, Canada
Proud Canadians from St. John’s to Victoria regard the Cabot Trail as a venerable rite of passage. The monument highway on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia is a picturesque glimpse into the culturally vibrant maritime province. Easily navigable over the course of a day, most stick to a leisurely pace in order to explore Cape Breton Highlands National Park and adorable coastal hamlets en route.
