MFARJM Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 We are planning another tour of the Gaspe' for1st week or 2-3rd in March. Last year we left Riviere du Loup to Matane, to Murdocville, to see the rock and to Chandler, to Point a la croix, to Edmunston NB, then north on 85 to RDL and trucks. 5 1/2 days riding. It was great! What do you think is the most scenic/mountainous/coolest things to see. Where are the mummies?? We are thinking of a 5 1/2 day trip 180-220 mile per day starting again at RDL, trail 5 to St Paulin, trail 595 to 5, then secondary trail (no Number) Mt Carleton to 5 west of Nouvelle, then on 5 to Albertville or 587s to Albertville, then 587n to 5, then to 548 to 85 north to RDL Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

Should you happen to go from Murdochville to La Cache, then go just north of La Cache and take the local trail that goes down to Carleton. Another breath taking ride.

MFARJM Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Thanks for info. We plan to stay in Carleton night 2. Then up to La cache and to Murdochville night 3. The dotted orange trail from Murdochville to Grande Valiee, what is that like and should we call for conditions or will some at the Copper Inn know? We are plannig to tour gaspe' counter clockwise. Is this a big no no? Does everyone go clockwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quebecmountainrider Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hi MFARJM ,The trail to grand-valley is a backcountry trail..This could be nice or a bumpy road ,or even a nightmare if the snows too deep.Sometimes theres big woops ..I dont know what its like.It changes when it snows .

It is not signed or marked and with tracks going in all directions it can be very confusing unless you know your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
