This hike was pretty Zen. A nice walk in a beautiful, well maintained park. This is a private land that belongs to the Cidrerie Michel Jodoin, which is pretty big here in Quebec.
Along the trail we found black berries, which we stopped to pick. There are also pannels with historical quizzes about the Cider Company.
There is a view point along the trail on a little balcony. There are also piknik tables near the view point, where we took our sweet time to eat our lunch.
This was a short trail. In the end, we had energy for more. Instead of finding another hike in the region, we decided to stay at the Cidrerie and … learn about their local trade.
They offer free cider tastings and a free tour of their installations.
Happy Hiking
