Stunning views.
A cool late-summer evening, we get out of our hotel room, and take a hike to Mont Royal. I am not going to go in to the history behind it because that is what the Encyclopedia (or WIkipedia, if you are one of the Wiki fans) is for.
It took us about 40 minutes to get to the top. It was an invigorating walk. Definitely wear sneakers. We passed by bicyclists, both leisure and professional.
There is a huge viewing area, once you get to the top. You get a beautiful view of the city and the river surrounding it. It makes for an excellent picnic spot. Too bad, we didn't bring any food. We could have had a great dinner on top of the mountain.
A definite visit when you are in Montreal.
P.S. It is designed by the same guy who designed Central Park in NYC.
