The Hidden Rive, or Rivière Cachée as it is called here in Quebec, is a small but turbulent river located just inside the main entrance to Jacques Cartier Park, The river has many rapids and falls, and is strewn with large rocks and boulders. In the spring, when water levels are high, it is the go to spot of a few brave kayakers. An extreme sport I would imagine. There is a large plaque, beside the river, indicating the danger that this poses; probably erected after the death of a young kayaker a few years ago. There is also a plaque placed on one of the rocks, covered by snow in this photo, in his memory.

Thanks, Harold! Indeed, it was a chilly morning. Not much warmth in those rays of sunshine at this time of the year.

Many thanks, Mike! Actually, it is not that bad. We have had very little really cold weather so far this winter. Have a winter storm on the way for tomorrow though, bringing with it 6 - 8 inches of snow, they say.
