Mont Ernest-Laforce, Summit in Gaspésie National Park, Quebec, Canada.
Mount Ernest-Laforce rises to 820 meters elevation and provides 360-degree panoramic views of the surrounding McGerrigle and Chic-Chocs mountain ranges in the region.
This summit honors J. Ernest Laforce, a local figure commemorated by a memorial plaque positioned at the base of the observation platform constructed at the peak.
The site perfectly embodies Gaspésie's regional motto 'A Sea of Mountains' and represents a defining symbol of Quebec's distinctive geographical and cultural identity within Canada.
The 4.8-kilometer loop trail with 190 meters of elevation gain takes approximately two hours to complete, starting from the Ernest-Laforce parking area facilities.
This summit is renowned for morning moose sightings as the animals traverse the boreal forest, being particularly active during sunrise and sunset hours throughout the seasons.
