Part of a trip of Gaspésie. Party included three of my sons: Jean, Dominique and Charles. After a full day on the road from Sudbury, we arrived at Rivière du Loup, Québec around 9pm. The next day we made our way to Parc Nationale de la Gaspésie where we paid for a one night stay at base of Mt Jacques Cartier. The Chic Choc mountains are absolutely spectacular. The next day we take the bus that takes us to trailhead. On our way up the mountain we see the last population (about 100 left in 2012) of alpine caribou in North America. The temperature dropped by about 10 degrees Celsius that day and was incredibly windy. A very interesting climb if one would like to see an alpine tundra setting.
