Towing on the Cabot Trail

A few years back we drove our Class C (not towing) from Cheticamp through Cape Breton Highlands National park. There were several good grades inside the Park, but the worst was between Ingonish Beach and Cape Smokey. We made the climb in second gear but needed first gear plus braking going down. In addition to the steep down grade, there was a sharp left turn at the very bottom. Fortunately, the down grade was only a mile long.
