auto385 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Wanting to start a trip around the peninsula in Mont Joli. Did the trip 6 years ago but had a follow truck that year. Does anyone know if there are any hotels that have secure parking? We plan to drive up on Wednesday so some feedback would be great. Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riviere Du Loup to Mont Joli, is this a far distance by snowmobile? I was hoping to start at Mont Joli so it would be a 4 day trip. I really don't want to take any more time off.

Take the time off if you can if youv'e never done the Gaspe before your in for a real treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revct1 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi Rob, In Matane there is a Quality Inn and the Riotel. I don't think either one has secure parking but if you prep the truck, pull the relays, wheel boots or chains, cover VIN, etc. you'll make your truck less desirable. I haven't heard of any theft problems out that way recently. Matane isn't too much further by truck past Mont Joli. Mont Joli we've never stayed at. Like Jackstraw said, Universal in Riviere du Loup is good but it is a day trip to Matane by sled. Jack & Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auto385 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I just came back last night from up there. Drove up last Wednesday To Matane and stayed at Riotel. Thursday to Mont. St. Pierre with a little side trip to Murdocville. Friday to Perce and stayed at Cote du Suprise. Saturday rode to Carlton sur Mer. Sunday back to Matane and trailered home. The whole trip was awesome with essentially no problems. Conditions were amazing. Trails weren't too bussy. Never seen so much snow in the mountains. If anyone still wants to go this year, they'd better go soon as it is expected that by the 2nd. week of March the south side is inpassable depending on temp.
