| Back along the shore...more miles of great riding |
|
|
| ...and more lighthouses |
|
|
| Lighthouse...I mean Phare |
|
|
| View back to the west |
|
|
|
|
| Adam and the bikes |
|
|
| Sprite rides by |
|
|
|
| The road just kept going on like this...nobody complained |
|
|
| Sprite on the FJR |
|
|
| Another lighthouse |
|
|
| Cool Lighthouse |
|
|
| No, I actually have never seen Titanic... |
|
|
| Sprite |
|
|
| Had Adam stopped here, this would have been perfect |
|
|
| Further down the coast, another lighthouse |
|
|
| Relaxing and enjoying a great view |
|
|
| Great view...very isolated spot. Had to go down a nasty dirt road to get here |
|
|
| Two chairs, no waiting |
|
|
| A nice fishing village, right before Parc Farillon |
|
|
| Just before the Parc, a stop at Cap Des Rosiers |
|
|
| Yes, another lighthouse |
|
|
| Great view towards the Parc |
|
|
| As I was standing there, I noticed something out in the water, and immediately called the other guys over |
|
|
| There she blows!!! |
|
|
| A whale (probably a humpback) was hanging out a couple hundred yards off shore |
|
|
| We stood and watched for a few minutes |
|
|
| Sprite and Adam spotted another mammal |
|
|
| The bikes |
|
|
| A great view in Parc Farillon |
|
|
| Cool cliffs! |
|
|
| What a great sight...then we looked the other direction (thanks Adam) |
|
|
| This picture does the scene no justice. There is no lens big enough to capture this |
|
|
| The lighthouse that we just visited |
|
|
| Standing here, this scene looked fake...like someone painted it. Totally surreal. |
|
|
| Further south, and after a 5km hike in, we ended up here |
|
|
| This is the end of the Gaspe Peninsula |
|
|
| Adam |
|
|

|
|
| Back 1km (up a big hill) was the Cape Gaspe Phare |
|
|
| Cape Gaspe Phare |
|
|
| View to the south |
|
|
| Cape Gaspe |
|
|
| ...and then the 4km hike (run for Sprite) back to the bikes |
|
|
| Camp that night |
|
|
| The town of Gaspe |
|
|
| Awesome rocks |
|
