Trail description

Corrections requises:

1. Région géographique: Changer 'Duplessis region' par 'Côte-Nord region' pour cohérence avec les sources officielles.

2. Faune - Ours: Corriger la phrase 'There are no bears or wolves on Anticosti' car les sources web mentionnent explicitement que le parc abrite des ours noirs ('black bears'). Remplacer par une formulation correcte basée sur les données vérifiées.

3. McDonald River turquoise: Supprimer ou reformuler la description 'with turquoise water running through pale limestone' car cette caractéristique spécifique ne peut pas être vérifiée par les sources web. Garder uniquement les éléments confirmés: canyons, rivières, limestone.
