Mont Jacques-Cartier is a mountain in the Chic-Choc Mountains range in eastern Quebec, Canada. At 1,270 m (4,160 ft), it is the tallest mountain in southern Quebec.
Located in the Gaspésie Peninsula, the mountain is protected by the Gaspésie National Park, and is host to the last remaining population of woodland caribou south of the Saint Lawrence River.
The summit can be accessed by a hiking trail. To reach the trail, you have to take a shuttle bus from the Camping du Mont Jacques-Cartier or from the park main building.
Le mont Jacques-Cartier est, avec ses 1 270 m d'altitude, le point culminant des monts Chic-Choc et du sud du Québec, dans les Appalaches.
Il domine aussi le parc national de la Gaspésie. Il est possible d'observer des caribous à son sommet.
Pour vous rendre à point de départ du sentier qui monte au sommet, vous devez prendre une navette qui part du bâtiment principal du parc ou du Camping du Mont Jacques-Cartier. (
