I visited Mont Royal on my second day in Montreal and fell in love.
We first walked up to the view point with the Chalet. For me the walk up was more picturesque then the view of the city. I guess I wanted to get away from the tall buildings that I see in Miami.
After I walked over the Beaver Lodge (I think its called) to go snow tubing. There wasn't enough snow to ski but this was so much fun! It was 9 Canadian dollars a person to use a tube the entire day. And if you had your own sled you could spend the day there for free I think.
This was such a great experience, and tubing was pretty exhilarating. Don't go to Montreal without stopping here!
