Wandering
From Algonquin we wandered our way through Pembroke, Ontario, across the Ottawa River to Quebec, south to Mont Tremblant and to St Hippolyte. We traveled through wilderness, passed farms, and went through small towns. We discovered a 230 km linear rail trail and wished we had our bikes. We ate wonderful food.
We spent time in Mont-Tremblant National Park which is the oldest of Quebec’s national parks being established in 1895 and is one of its largest. As we entered the park we finally saw a deer. We hiked to a lookout and did another short hike to some falls. We drove about one and half hour on a dirt, back road as we exited the park. We had been told there would be lots of deer, including many fawns, and possibly bear. However, all we saw was one squirrel on the road and a loon in the water—and that was the extent of the wildlife. From the Park we drove small hilly, winding roads to our resort—like a roller coaster.
