RoadRunner Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 The rock in Perce is an awesome sight to see in the winter or the summer, thought we might post some good pics for everyone to enjoy. Here is a photo on a perfect winter , blue sky day, from the hills above Perce village taken last february The next three shots I took in feb 1995, it was the last time that we were in Perce that we could safely ride the ice out to the rock! Another shot from Motel table a Rolands in 2006 If you have some good angles of the rock please post them, its a WOW factor on the Gaspe Trip Enjoy RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdelabruere Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Never heard of anybody riding out to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smclelan Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Of all the times I have been there in the winter I can't find a single digital winter picture of the rock. Here are a couple from my trip around the Gaspesie last summer. From one of the tour boats. A shot coming into town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDI-HAM Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 This was taken from our Hotel room. I basically opened the window and stuck my arm out, pointed towards the rock and took a shot. This was around 3:30 - 4:00 in the morning. The second picture was taken at the bird colony on the rear side of Bonaventure Island. My wife and I hiked across to see what it was all about. At the time she was 7 months pregnant Real trooper! The sanctuary was well You have to see it to believe it. UNREAL, oh and of course the stench of bird poop does wonders for a pregnant woman's senses.. If you ever visit this area in the summer, take the cruise around the rock and the island, pack a lunch and have a picnic on the Island. It's breath taking. And take the hike across to see the birds. It's a good workout getting there but worth it. Coming back is much easier as it's mostly downhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 1 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Who cuts the grass on top of the rock??? Never been there hope to make it this winter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Great pics! I've never been able to ride out to the rock, always wanted to. Here's my favorite pic of the rock, taken from the dock at sunrise: This is from the road that goes up to the lookout: and this is from the dock looking back at the village and lookout: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Rob, I have never been up the look out trail, where do you access that from? is it right in the village or below townEveryone has addes some really great pictures of this area RR when you come into town, and turn right into table a roland, there will be a track straight ahead at that point. Take that trail (not groomed, and just a path really). Follow it across a meadow, and you pick up a road going uphill to the left. Go up that road and the lookout is on left. The road goes further to a higher lookout closer to the top of the "table", (that's where table a roland gets its name), but it is not always broke out and can be an adventure. All of this is less than a mile from the village. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I always wondered where that was, I will venture up there this winter. Thanks Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpionbowl Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Here's what I can add regarding the "upper" lookout... The road/trail is behind the church, here's a pic in the summer looking from the road... It may be hard to see, but the upper lookout and fence are in the middle left of the cliff... Once you get to the top, there's a little outdoor church/shrine... Here's a rock pic from the top... Here's an island pic that may give some perspective on the cliff...
