Egypt Falls Cape Breton NS.

The trail is straight AND straight down.  It has some loose rock and a few slippery spots but manageable.  Encounter stage two of a Canadian off-the-beaten-path trail.  A rope is tied along the side of the trail.  It is knotted to trees along the way, really pretty well done by someone.  It is the guide rope to allow us to maneuver the really steep sections. We scramble and climb on well placed roots and rocks to make it to the floor of the steep mountain valley.   The waterfalls that greet us are beautiful.    It has rained recently and the flow spreads across the wide stone wall.  Ferns and tufts of rich green grass dot the ledges and pool edges.  The water is cool and the air hangs with moisture all around this place.   We stay a while.
