Very well marked trail with an excellent accommodation set-up in log cabins! Spoke with Marie-Josee, Joanne, and Justin several times before our hike and all were very helpful in trying to accommodate our changes to group size and departure dates. In the end, they suggested a departure date that would allow us to have exclusive use of each cabin due to Covid. Having completed many ‘caminos’, we thought we would miss meeting new trail mates but enjoyed our ‘private’ cabins and even met some wonderful young men doing the trail in tents. ( this is a new idea due to Covid but I would not recommend it after watching the guys struggle to find adequate tent sites)
We unexpectantly met the car-jockey and was happy to see that he was an older responsible gentleman that had shuttled our car.
We are early 60’s but had no problem with the trail distances even though hunting season restricts hiking hours from 9-16:00. We never heard a rifle shot while hiking, wore the orange and saw many porcupine, partridge, rabitts, and a bold beaver who didn’t want to share the trail!
Overall, an excellent adventure!
Beautiful trails but, as someone already mentioned above, not many lookouts or points of interest. I have done the whole 103 km section twice and would recommend it. Best suitable for small groups. Chalets are nice but there is little comfort as you can expect from remote rustic cabins in the woods.
A beautiful park. Definitely worth the drive.
