It's time to grab your camera and capture the amazing fall colors

As we enter the season of Fall, it’s a perfect time to step outside and witness the stunning colors of nature.

You might have already noticed the leaves begin to change their shades from green to hues of yellow, orange, and red. This transformation of leaves provides an excellent opportunity to capture this fleeting beauty on camera.

I encourage you to grab your camera and head out to your favorite parks, hiking trails, or simply the backyard to take snaps of the leaves before they fall off the trees.

With the changing colors of Fall, your photos are sure to turn out spectacular, and you can preserve these memories forever. Don’t miss out on this chance to capture the magic of the season!

You’ll need warm clothes. It is always better to overlay so that you can adapt your outfit to the weather rather than end up dressed too hot.

Mount Royal

Mount Royal, a beloved mountain, offers magical views of the changing colors of the trees from any spot, including the lookouts and paths.

A stop at Smith House is a must, as Les amis de la montagne offers an array of visitor services and activities, including trail maps and a permanent exhibition which highlights the history of this unique natural landmark declared a heritage site in 2012.

City parks

This city boasts an abundance of greenery, with exceptional neighborhood parks such as Parc La Fontaine and Westmount Park. Other parks, such as Park Jean Drapeau, Parc Maisonneuve, and Park Angrignon, showcase multicolored trees during the fall season.

The Ecomuseum

During the fall season and Halloween, this location provides a fun experience for children of all ages to enjoy. The Ecomuseum Zoo is the only outdoor zoo on the island of Montreal. Open 364 days a year, it allows visitors to fully enjoy the beauty of this 11-hectare site.
