Did the trail 73 loop around Lac Philippe in the northern Gatineau Park. I started in parking lot p20 and traveled clockwise. This turned out to be a wise decision because it started raining at about the halfway point, which was after the difficult part of the trail. If I had gone the opposite way I would have been slogging over the hills in the rain. Fall colours are nearly over in this part of the park, most of the leaves are on the ground. Temperature was about 12 degrees. There are several beaches on the west shore of the lake, but all of them are closed at this time of year. Not many people were on the trails today.
