Welcome to the Gaspésie National Park, where a total change of scenery and wide open spaces await you. Hop on board of the park shuttle to reach the entrance of the trail, from where you will venture on your own.
Ideal for those who love to hike and challenge themselves in a protected area due to the presence of caribou.
A rocky trail will lead you to the top of the second-highest peak in Quebec, Mount Jacques Cartier, which is one of the few places in Québec where caribou can be seen.
The alpine tundra and the grandiose landscapes, marked by bare peaks, more than 1000 meters high, and by persistent snow until mid-summer, will certainly remain engraved in your memory.
* Characteristics of the hike:
- trail made of large rocks
- 8.3 km (round trip)

Nice walk in a beautiful landscape. Less difficult for us than we expected, and unfornately the caribou where elsewhere.

Nice hike but too many constraints.

(Translated by Google) We were lucky enough to see caribou :) The naturalist was very nice and gave us a lot of interesting information. Plan for warm hiking clothes (hat, neck warmer, warm technical clothes).
