Today we had no set agenda so on a whim, we went for a hike. We figured a trip to La Grotte and to a few lookouts on Mont Sainte Anne. Mont Sainte Anne has a huge rock face and appears almost flat at the top. It looks very much like a medieval castle. As you get from one lookout the view gets ever more breathtaking. From the top, you can see all the way back to the tip of Forillion park, 25 km away. We also got to see le Rocher Perce from every imaginable angle. On the way back, we saw la Maison du Pecheur, where plans for some of Quebec's and Canada's darkest times were conceived in the summer of 1969.
We stopped for ice cream. I also discovered that "Journeé libre" (Free Day) should not in anyway be interpreted as a "Journée de Repos (Rest Day)" as noted on the detailed trip itinerary produced by my companion in crime!
Plan is to head out early tomorrow as we have found the winds to be calmer in the morning. We are also concerned about the rain forecast.
Mileage 12 kms (ascent 333m) (http://ridewithgps.com/trips/3045542)
