Wolf trail – Gatineau Park

Nice! Was about time I started moving again!

Great hiking yesterday, went for a variation of the Wolf Trail near the Blanchet Beach (@Lac Meech). About 350m of elevation gain and 7.5km walk in the forest.

Should be able to post one or two pictures today.

Wolf Trail – 8.3km return, expert, 400m elevation gain – The trail starts at parking lot P13 at Blanchet Beach and continues to a fork where you should keep left. You will shortly pass a beaver pond on your right. Further on the trial intersects with #38 and you should keep right at this point. You’ll next encounter the intersection with trail #1, the Fire Tower Road. The trail at this point is no longer numbered but keep going and you’ll reach you’re objective in no time, the very short spur to the Tawadina Lookout and an excellent overview of the Ottawa Valley. A little further on the trail swings back towards the start passing three more lookouts along the way before the final steep descent to the parking lot. The trail takes about 4 hours to complete.
