The views from the top of Cape Smokey are unique and vast. Not only will you see the Cabot trail, village of Ingonish, the national park and the Keltic Lodge, you will see Ingonish Island, fishing boats coming and going and maybe even a whale tail in the distance! When you purchase a ticket to ride the Atlantic Gondola you have the opportunity to do some much more than just take a ride. Visit the Summit Shack for a cold beverage and a snack, rent a kayak and take a paddle on Hawley's Lake or sign up for a Guided Hike to learn about the local flora and fauna and the history of this beautiful area. When the timing is right, take in the Burning of the Fog which is the magical experience of the the fog melting away to reveal the incredible landscape and hear about how Cape Smokey got its name.
