Carman Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) Hello QR's a group of us are heading to Gaspe Friday March 2nd until Wednesday March 7th riding Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and back to Toronto on Wednesday. I am looking for advice on best places to stay in Gaspe and the best lookouts and must see attractions. The wives like high end accommodations with hot tubs, pools, fine dining, and Spa facilities would be nice cherry on top. Thanks in advance, Carm Edited February 22, 2018 by Carman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredsleds Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I'd stay and start your trip in Riviere du Loop. Hotel Universal is sledder central, mUSt make reservations. I'd stick to the south shore of the St Lawrence and you must see the Chic Choc Mountains. Stay second day in Matane, lots of hotel there also. Are you saddle bagging or wanting to stay in one place?

Carman Posted February 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) Saddle bagging clockwise, hoping to arrive in Matane Thursday afternoon and riding to Village Grande Nature Thursday night about 130km of riding I believe. We will be riding about 300-400km/day. Edited February 22, 2018 by Carman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuse6 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi Carman Friend just got home from the Gaspe. They stayed at the Grand one night then the next at the CARIBOU at Rivière de Nard, just north of Gaspe. Said it was a really nice spot. 300 km which you won't want to do much more than that on the north shore. Very scenic but also not real fast trail because of the topography. Will be stopping at the look outs which all takes time. At New Richmond the Francis hotel is very nice spot . PLAYHARD and Carman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

800R MXZ X Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 We did this loop starting on the 2/9. We were checking out the sites so only about 200 miles a day. Carman and actionjack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carman Posted February 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) This is what I am thinking. Driving from Toronto to Ottawa/Montreal Thursday after work. Then Friday driving to Matane and riding 130km to Village Grande Nature first night, Gaspe second night, Perce then up to Murdochville 3rd night, across to La Cache and then down to New Richmond 4th night, then up and back to Matane Tuesday, drive home to Toronto Wednesday.

As stated, give yourself time for photos on/in Gaspésie. Then see "Kush" tour for the nicer digs another time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
