Despite the lack of wildlife seen on this trip (at least compared to what was expected), I found this image kind of cute!
Rolling Hills
Here is another great view from that lookout mentioned over the last couple of days. I just figured that it deserved its own post since it is one of my favourites from this spot.
The rest of what we could see
Yesterday I showed you the view to the next cabin from the look-out, but to be fair, the view was pretty incredible from up there as well. Here are two quick images that show some of the view. The third image was neat because it was something we picked out and zoomed in on with the camera to confirm whether or not we actually saw correctly. On the other side of this huge valley is another lookout from another path within the parc!
To see what we could see
Continuing on from yesterday, I continue the images from the hike in the Gaspésie. We made it up to the intersection you see in the first picture below (from the path on the left towards Tétras) and found it neat. Not shown in the picture here though is the 'side-trail' off to the right that we could (and did) take out to look out point.
Taking that quick trail to the lookout point gave us an idea of where we were headed - well, the 'shortcut' to where we were headed. Having checked out the maps before hand, having a GPS with us and knowing what the previous refuge looked like, we made our-selves an educated guess that the next refuge had to be 'near-by'. Alas, it was near-by, but we would just have to take a different path to get there. The 2 pictures below show the view of the next cabin (not exactly the next refuge on the trail, but a cabin none-the-less) from the lookout point.

Parc national de la Gaspésie
A while back I was taking you through the first day of our trip in the Parc national de la Gaspésie
but I think that is where I left off. We had two more days of hiking on that trip, and consequently, two more days of images. The day started off with us still in the woods and some more wooden paths through them.
Since we were still in the woods, we had to make our way up and up and up and out of the woods, eventually to peak out over the trees. Looking back the way we came, we catch a glimpse of the lookout tower on the mountain in the background from where we came down the day before!
Finally popping up out of the trees completely we get a decent view, in that same direction, over top of the trees. The neat thing about this image is that we get a decent look at the physical shape of the two lakes and the refuge (green room in the middle of the two lakes) where we slept the night before AS WELL AS where is is in relation to the lookout tower from the previous day's hike (top left).

Christmas Cat
So the previous image of Sobe wasn't exactly flattering, so I figured I would throw another one in here. Again, here is one of Sobe I took over the holidays with our Christmas tree in the background.
