Mount Royal Fall Colours: Private Photo Walk

Built around October's colours, this private guided walk takes you through Mount Royal Park in Montreal as the mountain turns deep red, burnt orange and bright yellow. It goes beyond leaf-peeping, covering the park's history, its lesser-known trails and the landmarks that make Mount Royal the heart of the city. From the Kondiaronk Belvedere, you can shoot the fall skyline where Montreal meets the St. Lawrence River. Next come the historic Chalet and the Cross, with their architecture, secrets and legends explained along the way. You'll also circle Beaver Lake, its calm water mirroring the autumn canopy, a nice place for a quiet break or a well-framed photo. The gentle, winding paths you follow were laid out by famed architect Frederick Law Olmsted, and local guides share stories about how the mountain came to be. Bring comfortable walking shoes.
