Saguenay Fjord
After leaving the river, we had dinner and drove to our vacation rental in Sacre-Couer, along the Saguenay Fjord. The next day, we climbed on a sandy marine terrace with amazing views, and went whale watching in a Zodiac. We got very close to seals, humpbacks, minke whales, and a beluga whale.

we climbed down the steep sand hill outside Tadoussac; it's actually a marine terrace, not a sand dune
Evan ran up and down the dunes

Day 2 - around Tadoussac
The next day, we checked out the small marina at the bottom of our hill, then climbed on rocks, trails, and more stairs around the town before having dinner and a fire back at our house.

Our last day, we drove across the fjord via a ferry, then stopped to see the waterfall at Canyon Sainte Anne.
