Hiking with beluga whales! Tadoussac, Quebec
Tadoussac, Quebec is a small village on the shores of the Saguenay River where it meets the mighty Saint Lawrence. I drove 2 hours from my campsite at Baie Eternite to explore the trails in that sector of Saguenay Fjord National Park. The drive is scenic and involves a ferry ride. Once I get to Tadoussac, the hiking is easy, and the views are breathtaking. I even have an encounter with some big game... belugas!

Hiking to the Notre-Dame du Saguenay Statue
Просмотров 11614 дней назад
I hiked to a beautiful statue overlooking the cliffs of the Saguenay Fjord in Quebec. The 8 km hike is steep, but the views are worth it. Notre-Dame du Saguenay (Our Lady of Saguenay) is made of white pine covered in lead leaves. Inspired by a harrowing misadventure by a local traveler, the statue was erected in 1881. It is now part of the Saguenay Fjord National Park. This is the second time I...

    I spent many years traveling to.and from Fogo Island in Newfoundland (and others) for work and was always a horrible feeling to top the hill and see the ferry moving away from the dock lol. Especially if it was the last one for the day lol. Guess five minutes not bad to wait lol. Great informative video, scenes are awesome. Especially at the top of ALL those stairs lol, also from the other look outs. Gotta love a bedrock beach. The icing on the cake had to be the balugas. We saw some lage whales today in Twillingate NL.

    The alltrails + map seems good but it doesn't show all the campsites. Can we sleep anywhere we want? The map you showed doesn't seem that good from what I understand. We want to start at fundy national park visitor center and do the full 64 km. Its more than 21 km until the end of fundy national park and the real start of the fundy footpath trail. Is there a campsite close to where we enter the footpath trail after fundy national park are its still a long way? We saw there's campsites just at the end of the fundy national park before going on the footpath trail but I guess we need to pay for them? Thank you

    • @dawnywanders
      @dawnywanders Месяц назад

      The paper map I show in the video is the one that comes with the guide, and it's adequate for showing the useful features along the trail. It shows all the campsites. Most campsites are at a watercourse, which is both beautiful and convenient. I believe you must camp at a designated site. Truthfully, you wouldn't want to camp just anywhere. The campsites have been placed at (relatively) flat, clear areas. Everywhere else is very hilly with lots of trees - hard to set up camp. I hiked the Footpath west-east. If you are hiking east-west, the first campsite outside of Fundy National Park is immediately outside the park, across a small river that is easily wade-able. If you want to check out that campsite, you can find it at the end of my "Day 4" video. Hiking in the park is "relatively" easy, and can be done in one day even though it's 21 km. I covered it in my "Day 5" video. The only campsites you have to pay for are inside the park, and have to be booked in advance. The campsites along the rest of the Footpath are free and no need to book in advance. Happy hiking!

    Interesting adventure Dawny. What's with these diseases in big game animals in Canada and the U.S.? Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is in many states in the U.S. now. This "brain worm" problem in game is something I've never heard about. I stopped hunting around 2011 after hunting about 35 years for Pennsylvania White Tail deer and didn't have to worry too much then about CWD in our area. It's a different world today. The old stories from many decades ago of family outings, camping, and hunting adventures are pleasing to read because of the better conditions they had, and families were more committed to staying together and making things right.

    • @user-np6fi6wc5b

    • @dawnywanders
      @dawnywanders 2 месяца назад

      CWD doesn't seem to be much on the radar here. Brain worm is has been a problem for decades in these parts, mainly because of how dramatic the behaviour in moose is when they get infected. It presents similar to CWD. The real problem in Nova Scotia (in my opinion) is that our forestry practices support the widespread destruction of moose habitat. Even if white-tails (and their brain worms) had never been introduced here, I can't imagine we'd have a healthy population of mainland moose. The old-growth forest was cut down decades ago and hasn't had any opportunity to recover. Brain worm was just the final nail in the coffin for the poor old moose.

I love to hear the interesting short stories you tell while you're on your treks through Nova Scotia, and would sometime like to hear about life in the Canadian Maritimes. The Maritimes must have a lot of interesting stories to share because of conditions there involving the weather, the seacoast, and the history of happenings of those living there? I've been to Maine many times, and up and down the whole coast three times, and crossed into New Brunswick to different places. I Love the seacoasts, the beauty, the lore, and the lobster.

But there are definitely bushcraft people and "true" outdoors-y folks who camp in lean-tos like that. Me? I prefer a tent or something to keep the bugs and the weather out. But in a pinch a lean-to would be better than nothing, and they're not that hard to build.

    Those walls are incredibly thick for a sheep pen. Where I am now, northern UK, I've got similar sheep and cattle pens all around me, but very few if any have walls that thick despite being made from similar size and shape rocks and with much taller walls. It's also strange the walls are so low. Our sheep pens are at least1.5m to 2m tall, to prevent them jumping out, especially when lambs stand on the back of their mothers and leap. What they DO remind me of is quarry buildings, specifically the explosive storage buildings, which are built robustly. But again, with waist-height walls, that doesn't make much sense. Miner's shacks are usually quite low but these are superlow considering there's bedrock so the innner floor level cannot be lower than outside levels. Wierd. And the walls have strangely level tops, more level than any agricultural pen I've ever seen. Makes me think they were built under strict discipline conditions, so possibly military. I can imaging a sargeant-major bellowing orders to "get that top level my lad". But no obvious firing positions - hmm.

That looks like a very educational hiking area. It almost looks like a campground that was abandoned with all those side trails being campgrounds that have grown in. The importance of checking to see where your blue dot is at any time LOL. I'm not good at trees I know the basics but the Huge tree that you suspect is hemlock was all alone compared to other around it must have been planted ? You're right at that 10:30 point the forest is too dense, I agree too many trees together. That's what I always find with spruce they grow so thick they would grow much better if thinned and the standing trees would grow bigger. Around here it's the same way now we will find a huge Pine Tree standing alone because we are unable to harvests any pine tree now. I agree with you that the lumber companies take priority over us the general public . they are able to go in and flatten a area , where if they thinned the forest it would grow so much better.

Plus, I enjoy spending time alone in the woods. I think it's more of a risk for my health and well-being to not get some peaceful solitude in the wilderness. I'm way more afraid of burnout and stress than I am of bears or injury. However, every person is different and has their own comfort level and risk tolerance.

    Wow that's a neat falls the pathways down almost looks as if they could have been manmade, it's also pretty neat how the roots of the trees are exposed for a section until it found soil definitely determine to survive. While not the Grand Canyon kike said it's still an awesome view. Some great video views as well, great job, thanks for taking us along

      The pathway is so easy to navigate it feels like a rough staircase. Whatever kind of rocks those are, they break up in blocks and wide flat surfaces, which is perfect for someone like me. Thanks for watching.

    Awesome, was just there a few weeks ago. Water was a lot higher that day, couldnt quite get down as close as you. You can also go right and there are a few other nice spots.

      I don't think I've ever gone downstream at this brook. I get enraptured with the fall, and then forget that there is the rest of the brook to explore! I've seen this fall with lots of water and with very little water, and it's awesome every time.

      I will float (ha!) the idea past him. After the gunshot video, I almost have him talked in to going to the firing range with me, so fishing might be a nice foray into the "gentleman sports" world for him ;)

    When those pictures of the trail maps there I often take photos too so I can use it as a reference if I need it. I often use All Trails APP too. Wow that gorge was pretty steep , not every day you can hike with gun shots in the background lol. Lol yeah no one comes with experience. Michael has a great sense of humor , your two way conversation was funny I found myself laughing out loud several times. We didn't have the winter we normally have here in Newfoundland this year, I had planned on more hot tenting , had my tent in place and set up early but winter was uncooperative lol. English muffin bag , the better fit lol. Yep like Michael I used bread bags in the past lol. I prefer loops too new scenery all the way no repeats. I'm the same way when I hike I seldom want to stop although hot dogs and Bologna sounds good lol, especially if it mightbe moose Bologna lol. I see more hiking in Michael's future. Actually its something I got away from last year hoping to do more this year. Great Hike guys.

      Thanks for watching! The gun shots were an added element of excitement. And comedy! After a minute we didn't really notice them anymore, but I thought they were funny throughout the video. Especially since we were just ignoring them, lol Glad to know the bread bag trick was (is?) used all over Atlantic Canada!
