The Wolf Trail in the Gatineau - done! See other people's descriptions, here, here, and here. Tawadina Lookout is 335 meters high and Mahingan Lookout is about 380 meters high. Took us about 3 hrs, with lots of pauses to clambor across creeks. Wet socks, wet boots, ah. Good thing i invested in these hiking poles, they made things a lot more sturdy. We were on snowshoes for the most part.
I think the most fascinating bit was the drive in to parking lot P13, along Chemin Meech lake. Driving right along the shore, one is outright invited to oogle the cottages built before 1938, when the park was established.
But where did the infamous Meech lake (non)accord negotiations happen? There were two giant houses on two high cliffs overlooking the lake, one of which is the Wilson House, a conference centre for the Cabinet. Does anyone know?
Right! off to bed.
