Parc national Forillon

Woke to the sight of two bull moose grazing in the flower covered pasture. Later spotted two seals just outside the harbour. Then traveled to the whale watching area at the end of the southern road. Spotted a Canadian Coastguard vessel towing a fishing vessel back to port. At first could hear the sounds of whales expelling air from their blow holes, then spotted large whales breaching, tail slapping , and fin slapping as they headed back toward open water. Later walked along the rocky beach where the mountains meet the water. Saw large numbers of sea birds nesting. Climbed up the cliff back to the parking area. Great facilities, campgrounds with enclosed wood stove heated dining areas, washrooms with heated showers! Great visitor centre with knowledgeable friendly staff.

This park is the creme-de-la-creme. We fell asleep to the sounds of the ocean. There were many spectacular views and things to do. Highlights included SUPing at Penouille, a life-affirming swim, and hikes to the various "red chair" spots. Bravo!
