While driving from Ontario to Canada's Maritime provinces I took a round trip around Gaspe peninsula in Quebec spending few days in this beautiful region.
I wasn't disappointed - there is a lot to see in Gaspesie. Colorful lighthouses, mountain ridges, fishing villages, beautiful parks and of course the famous Percé Rock. There were many public rest stops and observation areas along the way, which make a car trip a lot more enjoyable. The weather wasn't always perfect, but I got to see many interesting views with low clouds hovering over the hills, highlighted sun rays and double rainbows.
Here are some photos from my trip. Feel free to leave your feedback.
