Into Gatineau Park

 As mentioned yesterday, I took a shuttle into Gatineau Park earlier this month, to take in the fall colours. The park is a federal park, run by the National Capital Commission, and it's the NCC that organizes shuttle service out of Ottawa and Gatineau to go up into the park. It encompasses much of the Gatineau Hills, a rise of land that is a southern extension of the vast Canadian Shield. I took shots out the window of the bus as I went. Gatineau Park generally lies within the larger regional county of Les Collines-des-L'Outaouais. It was cool but sunny. I couldn't have asked for a better day to go.

  1. Does the Park look like this at any time of year or largely in autumn?

  7. Five hours on the bike today, up early as the forecast promised rain, got a few nice Autumn views before the rain came, biked in it for 90 minutes. Commuting would have been smarter!

  8. It is a great spot to go! I had a first date there, once, between husbands. He took me cross country skiing. He was a bit of a mad man!
