Heading up to the Summit of Mont Jacques-Cartier

On the first day of hiking during this trip, we started by heading up from the base of Mount Jacques-Cartier to the summit. For the most part this is a very well maintained, scenic and relatively easy (despite the incline) hike. About halfway up there is a lake that one can visit (and is seen in a couple of the pictures below). Below are some of the highlights from the climb up.
