Jun 24, From Madeleine-Centre QC to Parc National de la Gasp\u00e9sie, QC

After the wet and cloudy weather at the end of the day yesterday,\u00a0 This morning it’s a perfect weather.\u00a0 Here is the view from the cabin.

And the same nice coast ride, the north part of Gasp\u00e9 is really good for road trip.

I came across few interesting sculptures in the rest areas

There are lots of rain in forecast, but tonight looks to be ok so I decided to camp in Gasp\u00e9sie park.\u00a0 Looks like there is an event going on, there are lots of hikers and event tents are setup. I managed to get a tent site for one night by lake Cascap\u00e9dia, and it’s 10km of gravel road off of main road.
\nThere is always cyclist on the road in this area.

The road to the park is nice like most other roads here

And long ride on gravel road to campsite.

Finally the campsite.

I camped early today so I can go for a hike. I went to Mount Ells 1000m high and 3.7km long.\u00a0 It’s very thick vegetation here, so it’s very hard to go off trail.

The lake Alain-Potvin at alt 840m on the way up
\n\"IMG_0075\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally the peak
\n\"IMG_0083\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are so much trees on top that it’s hard to get a good look at the surroundings.\u00a0 And there is no bench or stone or anything to sit and relax!
\n\"IMG_0088\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The look at Lake Cascap\u00e9dia where I camped from top.\u00a0 I had to lift the camera all the way up to take this from between and above trees.
\n\"IMG_0086\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Heading back down, this tie will be a lot faster.
\n\"IMG_0087\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the Lake Cascap\u00e9dia from the shore, it’s very quiet and peaceful.
\nBut today is Friday, most campers will arrive tonight for the weekend.\u00a0 Late in the evening this place started to get busier and nosier.
\n\"IMG_0107\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are also huts to rent here by the lake
\n\"IMG_0109\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And preparing the camping food step by step.\u00a0 It was good and I was so hungry I had it all, I think it was supposed to be for two.
