It is a part of the Notre Dame Mountains, which is a continuation of the Appalachian Mountains.[1] History{{expand section|date=February 2013}}The name Chic-Chocs comes from the Mi'kmaq word sigsôg, meaning "crags" or "rocky mountains."{{Disputed-inline|Meaning|date=February 2013|reason=other sources state it means "impenetrable wall".}} It has undergone many different spellings over time, including Chikchâks (1836), Shick-shock (1857), and Chick-Saws (1863).[1] GeographyThe Chic-Chocs run parallel to the St. Lawrence River and are located some 20 to 40 kilometers inland. They are a narrow band of mountains approximately {{convert|95|km|mi}} long and {{convert|10|km|mi}} wide.[1] The Chic-Chocs are heavily eroded, with rounded, flattened tops and steep sides. Over 32 mountains in the range have peaks higher than {{convert|1000|m|ft}}; the highest is Mont Jacques-Cartier at {{convert|1268|m|ft}}. Caribou can be found in the plateaus of this region. TourismAlthough visited by just a few tourists, Chic-Choc Mountains became much more popular in the late 1990s as backcountry skiing gained popularity in Eastern Canada. A network of trails, including the International Appalachian Trail, passes through these mountains. Quebec's Parc national de la Gaspésie protects most of the mountain range.
