Fantastic skies and views from the summit of Mont Kaaikop, the second highest peak in the Laurentians.

Today we decided to explore an area we have never been before: the region east of Mont-Tremblant around the village of Saint-Donat. We found way more snow than we anticipated, but that’s OK because we were mostly prepared for it. We are very excited about all the possibilities that exist for playing in the outdoors around here.

Exploring a new (to us) region of Mont Orford. At higher elevations we found the snowy remnants of the previous nights storm.

There is supposed to be a summit around here somewhere... it’s amazing what they call a mountain in these parts. Either way, it was a beautiful fall hike in Parc National de Oka.

@brienne rockin’ her new shades, found moments earlier on the trail.

Our last Nova Scotia beach hike before heading home tomorrow.

Three generations out for a short Thanksgiving hike in Nova Scotia. Nice to be out with @celine today, as she gets older hiking with her is becoming a less frequent event.

One of the less used sections of trail that we encountered along the way.

The trails are very easy, and bike friendly. The multi-use trails are wide, smooth, and have frequent picnic table stops along the way. The hiking only trails are easy, and, despite being wide and relatively flat, also quite pretty.
