Cape Clear - Crossed it off MY bucketlist

There are very few places in Cape Breton, which intrigue me, that I have not visited. Cape Clear was one of them. BUT NOT ANYMORE.

Cape Clear is a large outcrop of granite, deep in the Western Highlands of Cape Breton, overlooking the Margaree. It is well known to locals, difficult to find, but only a 5 minute walk from your car, once you arrive.

Standing in the edge of the gorge, you will see, in every direction, rolling highlands as far as the eye can see. Not a man made structure in sight. Here, you get a true sense of just how just vast these parts of Cape Breton are.

Hey Steven, great photo. In another post I suggested we drop the whole Mother Canada statue and carve the image of Stephen Harper's head out of Cape Clear's granite. I think a proposal is in order! Smiles......

Not too sure about that Chris but I would be up for a few paid wilderness campsites and an occasional 12 person vehicle tour to the area.

I was just there on Sunday for the first time. Thought I was going to get lost and never heard from again, but it was worth it.
