Canada Franey Mountain Views

You climb up and up and your reward is at the top! Large flat rocks give you a nice place to sit and enjoy the 360º views of the entire Clyburn Brook canyon and the Atlantic coastline from Cape Smokey to Ingonish. Gaze back at the mountains, the sheer rocky face of Franey Mountain, or the river winding through the valley, 425 m below. Keep an eye out for wildlife – moose like this habitat too.

You need a Parks Canada Pass to visit this location!

Bring a tripod with a panorama-head with you. Use a zoom for birds and detail views towards Ingonish and the below lying Clyburn Valley.

You need to hike to the top. The trail is rated difficult. Length 7.4 km / 4.6 mi (loop). Elevation 95 - 430 m (310 - 1,410 ft). You can hike down same way for the vista or use the back loop via the old service road.
Turn off the Cabot Trail just north of the Clyburn River and follow the fire access road for about a kilometre to a small parking lot.
