On the way up!

Hey ya!

From Quebec I took the bus north. I travelled on the west side of the St. Lorence. The bus stopped an other time in the middle of no where. I got off and hitchhiked successfull and easy going to the Parc du national Hautes Georges.
That's an other great national park in the Mountains of Laurantide. The park is crossed by a river. I took the park shuttle to the start of a trail. The day was sunny and so i used the chance to make test. I hiked the 10 km with my heavy backpack. The trail was fantastic but it was not easy to go! I went up 800 m horizontal in just 5 km. So the trail looked like stairs going up in the blue sky! On the way there was still snow in just 1000m altitude. It was hard but I made it safe! On the way everybody asked me if I want to camp on the top or how heavy it is! Other one made coments like with this Backpack to go up is the dead! But actually I reached the top safe and successfull. From the top you got an amazing view on the river in the valley and the surrounding mountains. Far away you could see the St. Lorance. The view was so beautyful! Not to far away I could even spot some Caribou.
After the way down I spent the night on a campground.
At the next day I did a boat cruise on the river. A very interesting cruise with a park ranger who gave me a lot of information.
I hitchiked back to the highway. There I just waited 5 minutes after an other one stopped to pick me up. It's was like waiting for a taxi :) Together we drove to Tadoussac. We crossed the fjord du Sagunay with a ferry. The weather was great and view of the ferry on the fjord also. As I arrived in Tadoussac my digital camera was brocken! One year Canada was just to much for it! :(((
I camped on the campground of the hostel. Tadoussac is a nice and smove village. It's very quite but so beautyfull. Here you have everything you need and the people are nice too. It's also one of the best destinations to do wahle watching. I walked around the village and some kilometers of the trail du fjord du Sagunay. There I got an other breath taking view on the village of Tadoussac and the St. Lorence. At the next day the weather was bad! Too bad to do a wahle watching trip which I planed to do. I decided to go back to Quebec by bus instead. The wahle watching I will do later.

Enjoy the pics
