So, as you all wrap up your long weekend I bet you have been wondering what your favourite Kelly has been up to. Well loyal followers I will tell you.
Taking advantage of the perfect weather this weekend I decided to hike in the provincial park. Now, you may be asking yourself, "Kelly, I thought you were working for Parks Canada, not Parks Quebec."
How astute of you, give yourself a pat on the back. This is one of the unique feature of the Saguenay St-Lawrence Marine Park. The national park is entirely water. Seriously, no land point lies within the park. Surrounding the fleuve and the fjord is a provincial park. Parks Quebec operates and maintains it. So this means that to access the national park you have to go through the provincial (unless you have a boat and can just cruise on in). I digress.I went hiking up a mountain. Now this is a feat for me because generally I am lazy. A good Sunday hike is exactly what I needed to realize how horribly out of shape I am and motivate me to pick up the pace.
I climbed up the mountain Adela-Lessard. Now, this mountain isn't very big and I have no idea who Adele Lessard is/was, but it does afford a beautiful view of the park and of Tadoussac itself.

Victory!
Someone had fun in the park
I was really surprised at how well the parks are maintained. It was a breeze to follow the path and there were even stairs at some points!
I also met this little guy, about the length of my arm. I was walking along a path and he came out of the grass right in front of me. This is my first experience with the local wildlife and it wasn't even a whale.
So I've explored the land part of the park system. On tomorrow's agenda: whale watching!
