On my way to gaspésie
After a long day driving from Trois Pistoles along the south shore of the Saint Lawrence I took the road leaving the coast in the little port of Sainte Anne des Monts int he direction of Park Gaspésie, and in the distance you can see the mountains that make up the scenery in this wonderful park, that is one of the hidden gems of the Quebec province. I saw some shots from the scenery in this park in my preparation before going to Canada, and I can say it was worth every moment (more to come). This shot was taken just a few kilometers outside Saint Anne at the end of the day.
The whole trip: From Brighton Ontario I went straight to Tadoussac that's in the heart of the marine park, and the day after I went to the camp site Les Bergeronnes, where I spent 5 days whale watching on the shore (and one boat trip), every 5 minutes or so seeing whales popping up.
On the fifth day, around sunset I took the boat from Les Escoumins to Trois Pistoles. The south and the north shore of the bay are very different. The north shore has lots of rocks, while the south part is a little more sandy, and it is a fantastic drive all along! I finally headed to PN Gaspésie, where I spent 3 very cold nights in my tent (with all my clothes in my sleeping bag), but the park is wonderful!
Back in the direction of Brighton I spent a few hours in old Quebec, and drove the 1000 islands road, along the saint Lawrence river.
I certainly can recommend everybody who loves nature doing this trip. It should take around 2 weeks!
