July 6, 2008

We drive into Quebec City, QC and explore one of the sites on the outskirts of the city. Quebec City sits at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River where the river is lined with tall cliffs. On the eastern end a river cascades down this cliff forming Montmorency Falls. This waterfall is taller than Niagara but considerably narrower, but impressive nonetheless. We walk around the park surrounding it to take photos at several vantage points. On our way to our new campground in Levis, QC we pass another large waterfall (Chaudiere) cascading from the opposite side of the river. No wonder Quebec has so many aluminum plants; they are blessed with abundant hydroelectric power.
