Aug.8,2010 Forillon National Park

Today we are on our way to the National Park Forillon.They have  lots of hiking trails and historic sites to see. We are taking a 4 mile hike up to the Gaspe Lighthouse and Gaspe point.At the parking lot the first sign we see is to watch out for bears.That made me a little nervous and I wanted to wait for more people to show up.You can access a trail through the woods or on a gravel road surrounded by trees and bushes. We started out and saw some bear scat and it was still warm.Oh my god do we continue on. Of course.The beauty was all around us with the cliffs and water on one side and mountains on the other.The hike wasn’t to bad except for the last section which was straight up. If I made it up this far you have to just keeping going,no stopping now.We got to the top and the view was breath taking.Of course we had to take some breaths after the long climb.The lighthouse is here at the top and there are some picking tables. Here are some of the views we saw.
