On the one mostly sunny day we had in Cape Breton, we did the hike on the Skyline Trail which is 12 kms  I believe for the larger return route. Its one of the most amazing trails in Cape Breton though the scenery is likely duplicated across Cape Breton in various other in accessible areas. The end of the trail has a boardwalk that steps down the side of the highland hills which makes for a bit of a scary and exhilarating view which can actually be dangerous when windy. 

I got some time-lapse in here as well as lots of video of the scenery at the end of it.

The description from Parks Canada about the Skyline trail:

A dramatic headland cliff overlooks the rugged coast from the end of this level trail. You can enjoy an eagle's view of the Cabot Trail as it winds its way down the mountain – vehicles look like toys. Watch for whales in the Gulf of St. Lawrence from the viewing decks. Moose, bald eagles, bears and numerous boreal birds live in this habitat. Be cautious with children around the cliffs and give moose a wide berth. The headland plants are very fragile and easily damaged by trampling, so stay on the boardwalk. Dogs are not permitted here as they disturb wildlife, especially moose and bear.
