Last night we decided to go for a quick late afternoon hike. It took us forever to find the waterfall trail, leaving us only about an hour of daylight. I was surprised at how much snow Gatineau Park still had compared to Ottawa, but I suppose with the weather lately I really shouldn't have been. We hiked down to the waterfall and then back the alternate route to Mackenzie Estate. The loop was about 2km, with a 300m gradual hill. The hill was great practice for us for our Cape Chignecto trip.
I loved the views on this trail, even with the snow, there were so many little creeks. This trail is also in rehabilitation phase so you are not allowed to leave the trail and explore surrounding areas to protect some species and trees, not sure exactly which though.
This weekend we are planning to do Wolf Trail at Gatineau Park, it's listed as difficult and is 8.3km long.
