7 Fall Hikes Around Montreal To Try When You Get Bored Of Going Up Mount Royal

Onto bigger and better views.
Contributing Writer

When it comes to hiking, Quebec knows what's up. Or down. Or something a little flatter if that's what you prefer. But no matter what your hiking style, everyone can agree that there's something special about hiking fall hikes in Quebec.

You may be thinking that hikes are only good in the summer, but they're just as magnificent in autumn.

And while many hikes in Quebec have a spectacular view waiting for you at the end, in the fall, the hike, itself, is an incredible sight, with the changing leaves and that certain something in the air.

Whether you're looking for something close by or a real escape from the city, there are hikes all over the province.

Plus, the whole province seems to become magic when the leaves seem to change.

The best part is that you'll feel like you're in a completely new and faraway place when you're still in Quebec.

That's the true magic of fall.

So put on your hiking boots and bring your camera because you're going to want to capture these views...
