nowa Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I just booked 2 rooms at the Hotel Saguenay for Saturday thru Monday night. Tuesday we are gonna do a 3 day saddlebag trip anyone have any suggestions? Leave the HS Tuesday am and return there Thursday pm. 250 miles a day or a little more would be good. Thanks in advance.

markusvt Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Over to Escumins, up to Forestville, stay the night. Next day up to Bai Comeau for lunch, go over the longest suspension bridge in the world, back down to Sacre Coeur for the night. Last day back to the HS, short way via 93, long way over the Ferry and back under the Saguenay. or Up to Chibougamu for the night, then down to Senniterre and then stay at Lac Fillion, they back to the HS. Big trip, big miles, you can do in reverse too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schooter Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Markusvt I have not been that far north; can you provide a little more detail on the location of the bridge[/size]? I have gone as far as Sacre Coeur (I was told you fall off the end of the earth if you go farther north) Thought we may take a look for ourselves this year. We will be up at the HI from the 28 - 5th and we are looking at 1 or 2 saddlebag nights. Last year we stayed in Sacre Coeur for one night as we looped around the river Thank you in advance Schooter Edited January 19, 2012 by schooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bridge carries TQ 3 over the Manicouagan River, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markusvt Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Sacre Coeur is nowhere near to far north. Lots of paved roads, city's and nice trails WAY further north. Bridge is on the main trail, 787 feet long, 100 feet high, very, very cool. 377 miles north on the trail from Quebec City to the bridge via the trail.

markusvt Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 2. The longest snowmobile bridge in North America! It’s impossible to talk about a snowmobile trip in Côte-Nord without mentioning the bridge that crosses the Manicouagan River near Baie-Comeau. Passerelle Baie-Comeau © Marc Loiselle Its reputation extends beyond borders, and even people who have not yet visited the region have heard of it. About 700 feet long and nearly 95 feet above the river, the structure is very impressive—you’ll want to take a picture to show all your friends! http://www.quebecmaritime.ca/blog/en/2160/motoneige-cote-nord-snowmobile/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was starting to get dark and looked like there was a dam to the one side. Ships go under? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
