A sea of mountains in the heart of the<br />
Gaspé Peninsu<strong>la</strong><br />
The varied <strong>la</strong>ndscape of this g<strong>la</strong>cier-carved sea<br />
of mountains inclu<strong>de</strong>s stone fi elds, high p<strong>la</strong>teaus,<br />
ridges and <strong>de</strong>ep valleys. The wind blows<br />
year-round here, sometimes with great force, and<br />
snow is more abundant in the Chic-Chocs than<br />
anywhere else in Quebec, lingering until <strong>la</strong>te<br />
summer. The wildlife and p<strong>la</strong>nts resemble those<br />
of arctic regions. And wherever you look, majestic<br />
panoramas beckon.<br />

Caribou... in the <strong>Gaspésie</strong>!<br />
On the surrounding mountains lives the <strong>la</strong>st herd<br />
of caribou south of the St. Lawrence River. Following<br />
just a few simple gui<strong>de</strong>lines will help<br />
protect the immense value of this endangered<br />
wood<strong>la</strong>nd caribou popu<strong>la</strong>tion: explore their habitat<br />
without disturbing it; keep your distance when<br />
observing caribou; and learn about their habitat<br />
and their needs. The <strong>Parc</strong> <strong>national</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> <strong>Gaspésie</strong><br />
relies on everyone’s goodwill, at all times, to<br />
help protect these rare animals. Thanks for your<br />
cooperation!<br />
