| La Mauricie National Park of Canada |
Located between Montreal and Quebec, just north of Trois-Rivieres, La Mauricie National Park of Canada is a
remnant of glacier with 150 lakes on different height. There is a park road pass through the park with lots of camp
grounds for everyone and hiking trails lead to beautiful sights.
It was a one-day trip we planned, drive the park road from west to the east stopping at the visitor centers, short
trails and any sight along the way.

area) and outdoor, then through a lake side
to a waterfall.

Framing the lake view is white pine, a high
quality lumber for ship-building and
cabinetry. The heavy cutting in the previous
centuries, reduced the pine population from
12% to 1-2%. With the establishment of the
National Park, pine population is on the
come back.

We think of glaciers erode the
mountains wide and deep, but
when the melt, the debris they
carry got deposited where they
were, e.g. the flat land in
between the lakes was not
there until glacier left it there.

On the trail to Lac Edouard, we came across
this female Spruce Grouse. She is by herself,
at first she was shy, then she can't overcome
her curiosity and walking back under the
brushes to have a good look, also I did not
miss any chance of photographing her.

The light blue/white is a kind of lichen, symbiotic body of alga and fungus. The light green radiating light green leaves
are seedling of this year's spruce. The pinnate (feather-like) green leaves are 2nd year spruce. The short light
green-centered small growth in between the above are moss plants.
