Underexposed: Lac Beauport

Throughout the entire province, though especially in the capital city itself, there's an idiosyncratic aesthetic that sets the region apart from the rest of Canada. One of the oldest cities in all of North America, Quebec combines an old world beauty with an active local contingent, and a forward thinking approach to tourism that makes for one of the most comprehensive adventure destinations in the country. Within a stone’s throw of Quebec City are 5 singular mountain bike destinations that combine to form a coalition called Quebec City Mountain Bike, or Québec vélo de montagne. Included within QC MTB is the venerable World Cup venue Mont Saint Anne, the backcountry paradise of Vallee Bras du Nord, local favorite Empire 47, up-and-coming Le Massif de Charlevoix, and arguably the most popular of them all, Sentiers du Moulin.
