🚐🌊 Gaspé Peninsula RV Trip – Days 5 & 6 (Whales, Rain & Wild Trails) 📍 Route: Forillon National Park → Percé, Quebec 📅 Best Time: June-September (whales, puffins, dry trails) 🐋 Day 5: Forillon National Park – Where Mountains Meet Sea ✅ Whale-Watching Boat Tour – Humpbacks + minkes (but we got soaked in rain – check forecasts!). ✅ Land’s End Hike – 8km trail to cliffs where the Appalachians plunge into the Atlantic. ✅ Cap-Bon-Ami Lookout – Stormy skies turned sunset cotton-candy pink (photos can’t do it justice). ⚠️ Lesson Learned: Whale sightings are luck-dependent – we saw more later in Cape Breton! 🦅 Day 6: Percé – Birds, Rocks & Rainbows ✅ Bonaventure Island – 300,000+ puffins/gannets (boat tour $45 – book ahead!). ✅ Percé Rock – Walk to its base at low tide (June-Sept only). ✅ RV Camping – Woke up to ocean sounds + seagull serenades. 🚐 RV Tips for Gaspé ✔ Dump Stations: Available in Gaspé Town and Percé. ✔ Parking: Forillon’s Petit-Gaspé Campground fits big rigs. ✔ No Hookups? Boondock at Cap-aux-Os with lighthouse views. 📸 Best Shots You Missed 📷 Puffin Tornadoes – Bonaventure Island’s bird clouds. 📷 Storm Light on Percé Rock – Moody grays + turquoise waves. 🏆 Why Gaspé Stole Our Hearts "It’s where whales outnumber WiFi signals, and every rainy day ends with a pink sky apology." #ForillonNationalPark #WhaleFail #Perc #RoadTripQuebec
