5 Best Day Trips From Montreal: Québec City, Ottawa, the Eastern Townships, Mont Tremblant, and Hudson | Condé Nast Traveler

"Also known as Harold F. Baldwin Park, Mount Pinacle is the perfect place for a great view with only moderate effort. There's a well-maintained, two-kilometer hiking path where you might spot deer and can bird watch for local peregrine falcons. The view from the top is just the sort of expansive, hilly vista to reward you for the journey. Find a comfortable spot on the lava-rock hilltop and look down upon Lake Lyster and the fields beyond—there's a reason this region is known as the province's bread basket." - Todd Plummer, Isa Tousignant
