Overview: Just north of Montreal is Mont-Tremblant National Park, home of Mont Tremblant and a mountain some say is the most beautiful in eastern North America. Fall is extra special in the Laurentian Mountains where leaves are celebrated every year during the last week in September at Tremblant's Symphonie des Couleurs.
Along with Quebec's provincial tree, the yellow birch, this region provides color mainly from the deciduous sugar maple, and American beech. You can expect a mixture of conifer green to be included.
Tremblant Resort is just an hour and a half north of Montreal. You take the autoroute 15 North to Sainte-Agathe. After Sainte-Agathe, the 15 North merges with 117. Continue on the 117 North past Saint-Jovite. Take exit 119 (Montée Ryan) to Chemin Duplessis and just follow the signs.
Viewing Dates: Good viewing usually begins the last week in September in the higher elevations. The fall viewing season usually peaks the second week in October.
Trees of Show: Maple, beech, birch
