Je me souviens Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 We parked the truck @ the Roquemont then headed north. Total one way was just over 200 miles. Once you get north of LaTuque there was nothing but great trails following the ridge line of the mountains all the way into Lac Bouchette. The only place we saw between asides from a few camps was the lunch stop @ Le Goeland. They had a pretty good Club Poutine combo. Here are a few pics from the week-end. Saturday would have been a great day for pics, but it was too cold to stop that much, so the pics are from Sunday. As you can see it was overcast, but much warmer. If you are into bear hunting there is a place called Le Trappeur, just north of LaTuque, Denise the owner of the place gave me a card.

Phil 1 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I surely love that ride, 83 to 23 back to roquemont is just as good...23 is a A++++ trail. Great pix guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Je me souviens Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Viper2, It was 415 miles total for the two days. Phil, We parked in St-Raymond so that we could do that exact loop. 83 up 23 down, but after the frigid first day, we wanted to be sure of ourselves on the way back, so we took the same way home as we did up to Roberval. We did 23 down from Monts Valins 2 years ago after taking the east shore 3? up to Tadoussac. That was an amazing loop. The highlight of that loop was the Escoumins Semi Hors Piste from Les escoumins Relais to mont Valins sector. The next trip will hopefully feature a 3 day loop from Shawinigan to Jonquierre via the gas pipeline, then a "free ride" on day two, then take Jonquierre back to Shawinigan via 23 on Sunday. Or vice versa based on total mileage. The optimal way in my mind is to day the longest way up to Lac St-Jean on day one, that way on Sunday you not as beat when you truck it home.

West from HI on 83 to 23 South, get gas at the trailer just a copule gallons to get to Le Tape, Fill Le Tape good back to St Raymond. The park is spectacular.
