Chic-Choc Mountains

The Chic-Choc Mountains rise across the Gaspé Peninsula, their ridges running roughly parallel to the St. Lawrence estuary. Forest gives way to stunted trees and alpine tundra on the higher summits. Woodland caribou move between these exposed heights and the surrounding conifer forest. The mountains lie within Gespe'gewa'gi, the eastern district of Mi'kma'ki.
