The Cabot Trail (1950s)
"Northern Cape Breton is the Mecca of the tourist, the holiday seeker, the sportsman, and the lover of Nature. Access to this natural playground is afforded by the Cabot Trail, winding 180 miles northward in a circular route from Baddeck. More than four centuries after John Cabot first sighted the Island of Cape Breton, the motor trail was opened which now bears his name. Frowning cliff and smiling valley - placid lake and frantic mountain stream - Canada's newest National Park presents an everchanging panorama in a matchless blending of mountain, sea, and sky."
