Eager to go for a hike to one of the most beautiful parks in the area? We are providing transportation to the Jacques-Cartier National Park, so if you recently* moved to the Greater Québec City region and would like to explore this place while making new friends, you only need to sign up!
If you are coming by car to the departing point (1270, chemin Sainte-Foy) you can park your vehicle for free in the parking lot behind the Jeffery Hale Pavilion. I will give you a parking ticket that will waive the fees. We will leave at 10:45 AM, so please plan accordingly. The bus will take us to the Discovery & Services Centre, situated on km 10 from the park’s entrance. The tour is scheduled to begin at 12:00 PM. The interpretive tour will take two hours to be completed. Upon return to the Discovery Centre, participants can take some time to explore a bit more the picnic area, and the souvenir shop or simply relax while feeling the cool breeze of the Jacques-Cartier river. We will head back to Québec City at 3:15 PM.
A naturalist guide will take us on a two-hour hike through the Les Cascades trail. It is categorized as an easy trail, perfect for beginners, a leisure walk, families, or sightseers, with a length of only 4 km.
VEQ will provide FREE transportation to all participants, as well as will cover the fee for the SÉPAQ naturalist. The interpretive hike will be in English (the naturalist guide is bilingual though). Each participant MUST obtain the ticket on Eventbrite. It is $9.25 per adult and free for minors (17-year-old and under). If you already have a valid annual pass to the SÉPAQ (Québec’s provincial parks), then please get your ticket using the child’s admission option.
What to bring:
Comfortable shoes and clothes, water, snacks, a change of clothes in case it rains, your smile!
*Limited capacity of 25 participants (including children)*
*A newcomer is anyone who moved to the Greater Québec City Region in the past 5 years.
