The Discovery Pass is your gateway to history, nature, and adventure from coast to coast to coast.

When you come to Cape Breton hiking is something that everyone has to do! There are hikes for every age and every ability.
Chasing waterfalls is one of those activities that everyone loves and if you're looking for some great, challenging hikes then here's what you need to know!
We all need some motivation to leave the house, put our boots on and hit the trails. Some do it to stay in shape, some do it to meet fellow hikers and some do it just to reconnect with Mother Nature.
You’ve probably seen some incredible Instagram posts from the end of the Skyline Trail or the winding Cabot Trail road.
