I had a weekend to kill in Montreal and did not expect a hike up to the summit to be the highlight of my trip but it was and it was well worth the work on my calves and the sweat.
Word of advice: take the stairs when you can, since we missed an opportunity to get quickly up the summit and while the switchbacks that circle the park are lovely, it made for a very extended walk.
I returned briefly to see the Tamtam drummers on a Sunday since it was a quick walk from where I was staying, and I wish I had spent the day there because it was such a different vibe, kind of like Delores Park in San Francisco.
