Levis

Today was a relax a bit day so we just explored the area around Levis (pronunced LaVee). Early this morning we headed to Parc Des Chutes-de-la-Chaudiere for some hiking. We had no idea what was there so once again.... supprise!

We were met with this view from the parking lot above the falls. The bridge on the right is a foot bridge that we took leading to a series  of trails in the woods. A good 4 mile hike on a beautiful morning.

On the way to the bridge we had a  view of the falls on the Chaudiere River. There's a hydroelectric power facility just to the right of the falls.

The falls are really spectacular with water rushing over them causing some  mist and a loud roar.

After our hike we headed to Ft Levis #1 which was built to in the mid 1800's to protect Quebec from American invasion. It was interesting to get a Canadian perspective on the civil war days. We're heading to Woodstock NB tomorrow and then on to Prince Edward Island. More from there.
