Absolutely
breathtaking
national
park.
Ensure
that
you
do
your
research
prior
to
embarking
on
your
journey.
First
of
all,
be
aware
that
there
is
poor
reception
in
and
around
the
park
-
so
make
sure
that
you
know
where
you
are
going.
We
arrived
too
late
in
the
day,
just
after
2
pm,
but
there
was
plenty
of
parking
available.
To
get
to
the
Acropole
des
Draveurs
trailhead,
we
had
to
take
the
mandatory
shuttle.
We
were
not
aware
that
you
needed
to
begin
the
ascent
by
2:00
and
start
the
descent
from
the
3rd
summit
by
4:30,
but
thankfully
we
made
it
just
in
time
as
the
friendly
park
ranger
was
preparing
to
close
the
trail
for
the
evening.
This
was
a
challenging
hike,
as
the
first
2
kms
were
comparable
to
a
stair
master.
The
ascent
was
a
real
physical
challenge
and
the
descent
was
very
technical.
I
can’t
imagine
how
dangerous
it
would
be
to
attempt
this
on
a
rainy
day.
The
incredible
wildlife
(we
encountered
a
porcupine
and
many
other
critters),
as
well
as
the
beautiful
waterfalls
and
streams,
made
this
challenging
hike
worth
every
second.
The
views
from
the
top
were
phenomenal
-
some
of
the
best
I’ve
seen
in
Canada.
It
was
incredibly
windy
though,
too
much
to
handle
for
a
prolonged
period.
Pack
warm
clothes
and
a
windbreaker.
