Hiking in Parc national du Bic

Bas-Saint-Laurent, Canada, Québec, Travel

During our Québec City/ Bas-Saint-Laurent road trip this past summer we wanted to spend as much time as possible outside since we wanted to enjoy the nice weather but also because of covid.

Although it’s really just an excuse for me to share some photos.

I’m going to get into the specifics of the hike in another post and for this little Grand Canyon guide I’m going to focus on the South Rim area at the top of the Grand Canyon.
