The Sentier Nepisiguit Mi’gmaq Trail claimed a spot on the coveted “Best of the World” list, and judging by photos it’s easy to see why.

Follow the trail and you’ll find oft-changing landscape and trail conditions, from river delta to valley to the Appalachian Mountain Range. Along the way you can spot waterfalls, river rapids, cliffs, lookouts and side trails.
