July 27th through August 1st, 2004
After leaving the wonderful City of Old Quebec, we stopped to see the Parc De La Chute-Montmorency.
These awe-inspiring falls are 272 feet high, this is 98 feet higher than Niagara Falls. We viewed these falls from a suspension bridge and the panoramic stairs.
The picture above is taken from a small bridge leading to the suspension bridge shown to the left.
Above and right shows the support cables and adjusters. The coin is a quarter to give you and idea of size. The threads are so fine that you almost think they are just circles.
After we crossed the bridge we spotted this sign. Makes you wonder.
This view of the St. Laurence River is from the mid-way-point across the suspension bridge
Looking at the suspension bridge and the Montmorency River as it goes over the edge.
After walking down a path and descending some stairs I was able to photograph the falls from an angle.
Here's Joan going back up the stairs to cross back over the bridge. I wore her out this day as we did much hiking and ascending stairs.
This is a photo of the panoramic stairs which I ultimately descended and had to climb back up but not before I was able to get this nice picture of the falls.
The photo below was taken just as I got to the top of the stairs. That was a climb!
These last three pictures were taken as we traveled through the countryside heading for the small town of Cochrane where we would board a train and leave civilization behind. Our destination would be James Bay.
A beautiful field of mustard flowers. We saw many of these vast fields of yellow.
