| Comments: |
From the park headquarters we were excited to see that the road was plowed. We were able to drive 5.4 miles on Chemin Gosford and Chemin de la Grive parking just before the first bridge. From that point the walking was pretty easy until we reached the ATV trail. We broke out anywhere from 12 to 18 in until we reached the swath. Once on the swath we were able 2 walk on snowmobile track making the rest of the hike to the summit fairly easy. Temperatures were relatively mild and the views from the swath where amazing! |
