On The High Ground

 Carrying on where I left off yesterday, this close view looks down towards a small village in the Les Collines-des-l'Outaouais municipality- which also contains much of Gatineau Park. The road below leads towards the Ottawa River itself.


There are a series of interpretive panels which look at the geological history of the Gatineau Hills and the Eardley Escarpment.


The beginning of the trail that descends down through the wooded slopes.


And here are some last looks at the view from the Champlain Lookout.

    1. It's a term I grew up with, as I lived near the Niagara Escarpment.

    1. Pretty flat and orderly down on the valley floor, at least.

    1. After publishing I remembered that Luskville is just a bit up the valley from here, a few minutes drive on. But in the vicinity of what's below. Corrected the text to reflect this.
