No Fall travel review would be complete without suggesting a trip to marvel at the Fall foliage. Today we spotlight Cape Breton Island, in northeastern Nova Scotia. In mid-October the island’s serene, 185-mile Cabot trail doles out incredible autumn scenery, winding along rocky coastline and through Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Expect plenty of postcard-perfect small towns, ice cream shops, and fishing villages dotting the trail, as well as the world’s only opportunity to snorkel with pilot whales (which takes place until mid-October, depending on sea conditions).
