Beautiful trails but, as someone already mentioned above, not many lookouts or points of interest. I have done the whole 103 km section twice and would recommend it. Best suitable for small groups. Chalets are nice but there is little comfort as you can expect from remote rustic cabins in the woods.
We did the Traversee tenting. While it was a very good challenge I find that camping rights are HUGELY OVERPRICED. You receive the access to a toilet and the right to put your tent next to the road, at the second to last camp literary on the road. I find that transparency about that fact is completely absent. We were told that there is red poles that mark where we can put our tent, surprise surprise there weren't any.
So I don't see how it's ok to charge access to the park and then on top of that to charge camping rights while you don't even provide a flat place to put a tent.
Really disappointed.
Avoid the camping option at any cost! If you don't have access to a chalet simply go somewhere else!
Of course, the Traversee Inc will say that this is a small price to pay for them maintain the trail and mark it. Well, I hate to say that but this argument doesn't stand. Marking is done once and trail maintenance is minimal.
Also, please keep in mind that unlike most huts in the European mountains all chalets are road accessible (you can drive with a Honda civic) so again, do not buy the argument of difficult maintenance.
Unfortunately, a beautiful place that should belong to the people have turned into a money making machine.
Very well marked trail with an excellent accommodation set-up in log cabins! Spoke with Marie-Josee, Joanne, and Justin several times before our hike and all were very helpful in trying to accommodate our changes to group size and departure dates. In the end, they suggested a departure date that would allow us to have exclusive use of each cabin due to Covid. Having completed many ‘caminos’, we thought we would miss meeting new trail mates but enjoyed our ‘private’ cabins and even met some wonderful young men doing the trail in tents. ( this is a new idea due to Covid but I would not recommend it after watching the guys struggle to find adequate tent sites)
We unexpectantly met the car-jockey and was happy to see that he was an older responsible gentleman that had shuttled our car.
We are early 60’s but had no problem with the trail distances even though hunting season restricts hiking hours from 9-16:00. We never heard a rifle shot while hiking, wore the orange and saw many porcupine, partridge, rabitts, and a bold beaver who didn’t want to share the trail!
Overall, an excellent adventure!
A beautiful park. Definitely worth the drive.
