But you can also start on a last-minute adventure with some spontaneous trips from Montreal that'll make for unforgettable fall experiences.
Fall is definitely one of the most curious times of the year.

You can still go for hikes, go camping and sometimes even go swimming.
But for those of us that get excited for sweater-weather, the crisp air sneaks in and it's time to pull out our knits.
For this list, we've taken a look at places that are less than three hours from the city.
Because when it comes to fall drives, all you want to do is get outside and play in the leaves.
