One of the designated trails in Cape Breton NP. Shady until the waterfall.

Completely different to the Lone Shieling Trail and not a circular trail either, but we were still immediately struck by the darkness 👻and the smell along the MacIntosh Brook😍. At the turning point we were surprised by a small waterfall🙃.

The parking lot 🅿️ even has a gas station for Isiditz🤣🙋🏼‍♀️.
