Backpackers looking for a one or two night outing should have a look at our listings for Mont Orford, Mont Tremblant and Mont Megantic for starters. If you favour longer trips consider the 82km Sentiers Frontaliers, the 74km Longue Randonee Pedestre in Tremblant Park. or the 160km Sentier de l'Estrie. There are plenty of other long distance trails in Quebec's other regions as well. Finally, if you really want to test your metal with a pair of hiking boots on, set your sites on Forlllion Park (two days by car), in the Gaspesie, where you can hike into Maine (of for that matter all the way to Georgia in the south and in the future the northern tip of Newfoundland, with the inclusion of a ferry ride, of course) along the International Appalachian Trail.
