Argiope
Welcome back to Quebec City and its environs! I had to interrupt our virtual vacay due to some work stuff, so let’s reorient ourselves: we were planning to head out to where the waterfalls flow and moose frolic. Let’s go!
We’ll start today with a short 20-minute drive north of the city, up to Montmorency Falls. These falls are nearly 100 feet taller than Niagara and we’ll get right up close to them. There’s a way to walk on shallow rocks down near the bottom, but since it’s early May it’s a might nippy out for that. Instead, we’ll just park and do the short walk through the surrounding Montmorency Park to get to the main event. See that bridge? We just walked over that one and got some sea spray (well, technically river spray) in our faces. The entire Riviere Montmorency comes through here on the way down to join the St Lawrence, and it’s coming from quite a ways to the north so there is a good bit of water coming through this gap. The zipline wasn’t running today—too early in the season, I’m guessing—so instead we got a nice walk in on both sides of the falls and down to various observation points. There’s an old hotel with a fancy restaurant up here, Montmorency Manor, and many places to picnic.
