About Kamouraska — Saint-Pascal

Unusual orthoquartzite cliff near the St Lawrence estuary. The rock is near non-porous and combined with south aspect and constant coastal winds it dries exceptionally fast. Glass-slick when wet — treat drying seriously even though it happens quickly.

Region: Kamouraska
Rock type: Quartzite
Aspect: south-facing
Altitude: 120m
Exposure: medium
Seepage: low
