Review:
Forillon National Park occupies a mountainous area between the Bay of Gaspé and the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Quebec. It is wild and untamed, with fantastic challenging hiking trails along the sea cliff edges.
The park also includes picturesque Gaspésie fishing villages, pebble beaches, hidden coves, and steep cliffs that drop off to the sea.
The park has a rare mix of ten diverse ecosystems that include forests, which cover most of the area, sand dunes, cliffs, meadows, lakes, marshes, and streams.
Besides maple, fir, and white and yellow birch, there are more than 700 species of plants that exist in the park, including some that belong in the Arctic.
Forillon is the beginning (or end) of the International Appalachian Trail.
