The drive

Route 132 on the north coast of the Gaspé Peninsula runs from Sainte-Anne-des-Monts east to Rivière-au-Renard. Frommer's describes the road past Sainte-Anne as a narrow band pushed to the water's edge by sheer rock walls, with waterfalls spilling beside it. Mont-Saint-Pierre is about 55 km (34 miles) past Sainte-Anne.

The road also passes Grande-Vallée. It is part of the loop around the peninsula, which Wikipedia puts at over 930 km, and the highway is known as the Navigator's Route. This drive is 109.6 miles, takes about 2 hr 30 min, and climbs about 7,400 feet between bays. At Sainte-Anne-des-Monts it meets Route 299, which leads south to Gaspésie National Park.
