As hard as it was to leave the beautiful Forillon National Park, we packed our things and left for Gaspésie National Park. We drove along the coast and mountains of the Gaspé Peninsula. That was an incredible drive. There was alot of super high hlls, clffs with water falls coming out of them and the gorgeous St-Laurence beside us all the time. Once we got into the park, we tried to find the place where we were suppose to pay for the camping and the entrance fee, but there was no one there. We had to take a 7 km dirt [View Full Entry]

Our first stop on the trip was the spectacular and HUGE Percé Rock. Too bad for us that the tide was in and we couldn't walk out to really appreciate the grandure of it. We parked at a cheap motel and walked along the beach, where we made sure to touch the Atlantic Ocean (or the closest thing to the Atlantic ocean)! The pictures really don't do it justice, it is quite massive and very cool looking. There used to be a second hole, but it collapsed. That must have been quite the scene! After taking our pictures with the rock, [View Full Entry]

La Gaspésie est magnifique --- En construction --- Après Cap Chat, la route borde la mer d'un côté, et le bas des falaises escarpées de l'autre. La voiture sillonne à un maximum de 90 km/h au milieu d’un paysage grandiose, ou à chaque côte on prépare l’appareil photo en pensant au magnifique point de vu que nous aurons lors de la descente. S’en est étourdissant tellement les paysages sont d’une beauté sauvage et grandiose. Les villages que l’on traverse sont souvent bâtis au fond d’une anse ou d’une petite baie, Ruisseau Castor, Ruisseau à Rebours, Mont Saint Pierre : Ici c’est [View Full Entry]
