wulsock1 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 My dad and I are planning a trip to Gaspe' in early Febuary. Anyone have any sugestions? Must see things,places to stay, good places to eat..... We are coming from Northern NY and wiil cross the border at the Thousand Islands Bridge and head up from there. Dad has been looking at Montogomy as a starting point. Anyone know of a good place to leave the truck? Or maybe another town close to there that may be better? Any sugestions? Thanks David.

MrGutz Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 We tried starting in RDL (river du loop) last year, at the Universal, nice enclosed lot for Trucks and indoor heated garages for the sleds. GutZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 We always start from the Universal in RDL, like Gutz said locked corral for trucks. About 1200 miles round the gaspe and back. Keep in mind Feb. is the busiest month in the Gaspe. We usually go end of March, Deep snow, no traffic, smoothe trails.Except last year, snow melted week before we where to leave. If you have never been there your in for a real treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smclelan Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 How many days were you planning to spend in the Gaspe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulsock1 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 We plan to be at least five days. Maybe more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcstar Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 We plan to be at least five days. Maybe more. We did the loop from RDL in 5 1/2 days, not pushing it (wife had to look at scenery!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arubenstein Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 We did the loop from RDL in 5 1/2 days, not pushing it (wife had to look at scenery!) RDL is good, but the few times I have gone, I have started in Montmagmy. Not locked parking, but a quiet spot at Hotel 323 (I think that is the name). A little bit less time in the car and the trail passes through the parking lot. Skidoo dealer across the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Motel 232. I believe 232 is the exit #. There is also Hotel L'Oiseliere [great place] and Hotel le Florimay [not so nice] on the same exit.

MrGutz Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I belive I remember your hotel in RDL last year, MrGutz. ;-) Spent more time there then on the trails. Thanks again for the Lift!! GutZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulsock1 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 OK got the hotel stuff figured out, how about sights to see,special trails, places not to go, things like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGutz Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I was told the north side is better, south shore can be thin, you must take the interior trails, you must stop at Groomer's club house, see the Rock. GutZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysnow Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 IMO North side is definitely better. And check out the trees that look like Snow mommies not from Groomer's Club !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 The North is nice but don't miss riding some of the interior trails, 595, 597, between La Cache and Murdochville, north of Carleton, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I love those "snow mommies". Oh yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Village Grande Nature Chic Chocs is a very nice spot to stay or Hotel Motel Mont Saint Pierre both very beautiful and scenic spots. A night in Perce is also nice, waking up looking out at the Rock. The Francis is a snowmobile friendly spot in the New Richmond area or the Interprovincial at Pointe a la Croix, both snowmobile friendly and good food.
