Sentier Horizon is a 2.0-mile loop in Quebec, Canada, inside Parc de la Gatineau. It runs between about 1,050 ft and 1,180 ft above sea level, with roughly 500 ft of climbing over the route. It is a mountain path with steeper and uneven sections, so wear proper hiking shoes. Most of the way is dirt. Dogs are allowed on a leash. It is mapped as a named hiking route, with the sections joined into one trail here. The nearest town is Chelsea, about 1.8 miles west of the trailhead. Peaks within about 3 miles include King Mountain. Chute du Voile-de-la-Mariée is within about 3 miles. For camping, Tree house and Camping Cantley are within about 6 miles. There are 17 other mapped trails within about 3 miles, so you can combine or extend the outing. Distances, elevations and the route shape here come from OpenStreetMap and the Copernicus 90 m elevation model. Trails, access rules and conditions change, so check locally before you go.
