It was beautiful walking in the woods beside such a picturesque stream. It was only a 40 minute hike to Chute du Diable, followed by a 20 minute hike to Chutes Croches. Chute du Diable was especially beautiful.
Of course we had to stop along the way to explore the area and get a closer look.
This was a piece of cake, so we decided to do another hiking trail. This one was supposed to be a two hour hike. We thought we were good for that. No problem, except it was ALL uphill. We hiked for an hour and a half and finally got to the summit. We were rewarded with a spectacular view of the countryside. Unfortunately, it was overcast and hazy, so it was hard to get a great picture. Hiking down was definitely easier, though hard on the knees and hips. We'll feel this one tomorrow. Rain had been forecast for today so we felt lucky to have no rain until we were driving back.
We saw a lot of deer, and they weren't at all concerned when we stopped to take pictures. One came so close to the car I could have reached out and touched her.
Tonight we're packing up. We leave tomorrow and head for Quebec City. We've had a great time here and feel like we did a pretty good job of exploring the area.
