The second day we did a family hike (with the usual reluctant beginnings) up the highest thing we could see nearby. It's called Mont Chauve, so it's the local equivalent of our Bare Mountain up by the Notch -- but the one in Quebec is about twice the height. The plaque on top gives 600m, which is 1,968.5 feet: nice for lunchtime walk! No running involved, but got some good scrambling in, both up and down, going from rock to rock to avoid the soggy mud where many feet had trod. All in all it took us about 3 hours from the campsite to the top and back, and the distance was about 6 km (we had to walk around the lake to get to the climbing trail, etc.). Good x-training, for sure.
