Nature
Mount Joseph-Fortin, in Quebec’s Gaspésie National Park within the Mont-Albert area, is a hiking destination reached by a rocky trail that initially follows the route toward Mount Richardson. The ascent to its summit is listed at 9.8 kilometres, about four hours, while a round trip continuing to Mount Richardson is 11.18 kilometres. Parts of the climb are steep, making it more demanding than an easy walk. The mountain honors Joseph Fortin of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, a coureur des bois and mountain guide who worked across the park, joined Fernald’s expeditions in 1905, 1906, and 1923, and was recognized for collecting plants and learning their Latin names.
