  • Had a great winter trip to NS’s high point, White Hill, with Lee, owner of Live Life in Tents. 2 day back country ski trip in one of the most raw places in our beautiful province. Thanks for make the trip smooth and memorable, I highly recommend taking a guided trip or staying with LLIT!

  • Live Life in Tents is wicked! Friendly folks and spacious campground with beautiful view over the jewel of Cape Breton Island, the Margaree Valley. I was there for a guided hike up the seawall, it was super intense and Lee the guide was beyond competent. Very impressed.
