Re: Canada Winter Landscapes
If you drive 50-100 miles north of Montreal to the Laurentian mountains, you will find endless rolling hills and lakes. Naturally, it's best to have a vehicle with an excellent heater, built-in heating coil and studded snow tires or chains if you plan to travel on back roads.
Re: Canada Winter Landscapes
If you're in Montreal for a couple of days, and want to get some urban stuff, head to the Lachine Canal or drive the length of St Patrick st.
The area between Montreal and Toronto is one of the flattest areas outside the Prairies, but Ken is right, the hills come alive north of Montreal.
Also, if you are in the Ottawa area, Gatineau Provincial Park is quite wonderful at any season.
Luckily, you also arrived just as a cold snap ended.
Re: Canada Winter Landscapes
Love Montreal. Wanna go back. Great vibe. I would say most vibrant city in Canada. Ari, not all of the Prairies is flat. We've got rolling hills and valleys in many places in Saskatchewan! :)
Re: Canada Winter Landscapes
Andrew, I'm sure the rolling hills are there, I'll take your word for it :); the endless horizon is one of the most beautiful qualities of the Prairies.
