Parc National Forillon (Forillon National Park)

Gaspé, Québec, Canada

5 October, 2023

Make the short, but steep hike to the summit of Mont Saint Alban for a breathtaking lookout at Le Bout du Monde (The End of the World), the rugged spit of land that gave the Gaspé peninsula its name. Derived from the Micmac word Gaspeg, which means "End of Land", the French simply dropped the "g" off the end to give it its current name: Gaspé. After seeing the photos, it's no wonder why Forillon National Park is one of the most underrated parks in all of Canada.

Faites la randonnée courte mais raide au sommet du mont Saint Alban pour un belvédère extraordinaire sur Le Bout du Monde, la langue de terre accidentée qui a donné son nom à La Gaspésie. Dérivé du mot micmac Gaspeg, qui signifie « bout du paysage », les français ont simplement laissé tomber le « g » à la fin pour lui donner son nom actuel: Gaspé. Après avoir vu les photos, il n'est pas étonnant que le Parc National Forillon soit l'un des parcs les plus sous-estimés dans tout le Canada.
