For this Wednesday Walk Challenge hosted by @tattoodjay, I propose a walk through the small town of Morin-Heights in the Laurentians in Quebec. As in Canada, last weekend was Thanksgiving, with Monday off. We headed out for a few days of adventure to enjoy the beautiful autumn colors.
Pour ce Wednesday Walk Challenge organisé par @tattoodjay, je vous propose une balade dans la petite ville de Morin-Heights dans les Laurentides au Québec. Comme au Canada, le weekend dernier était l'Action de Grâce avec lundi férié. Nous sommes partis quelques jours à l'aventure pour profiter de l'automne avec ces superbes couleurs.
But first, here are two maps to show you where Morin-Heights is located. It's an hour's drive from Montreal (if there's no traffic, last Saturday morning it took twice as long 😤) on the road to Mont-Tremblant.
Mais d'abord, voici deux cartes pour vous montrer ou se trouve Morin-Heights. C'est à une heure de voiture de Montréal (si il n'y a pas de traffic, samedi matin dernier, cela a pris deux fois plus de temps 😤) sur la route pour aller à Mont Tremblant.
Morin-Heights is a small town of just under 5,000 inhabitants in the Pays-d'en-Haut (Upper Country) region. It's a beautiful part of Quebec, all year round, with a ski resort in winter. I'll have to try those slopes this winter.
Morin-Heights est une petite ville d'un peu moins de 5,000 habitants dans la région Les Pays-d'en-Haut. C'est un beau coin du Québec, toutes les saisons, avec l'hiver une station de ski. Il faudra que j'essaye ces pistes cet hiver.

We had a cottage on the outskirts of Morin-Heights with a superb view of a small lake. What a pleasure to wake up to such a beautiful view. The colors of the trees were truly magnificent at this time of year, perhaps the best time of year to visit Quebec if you're a nature lover.
Nous avions un chalet dans les environs de Morin-Heights avec une superbe vue sur un petit lac. Quel plaisir de se réveiller avec une si belle vue. Les couleurs des arbres étaient vraiment magnifiques à cette époque, peut être la plus période de l'année pour visiter le Québec si on est un amoureux de la nature.
After breakfast, we headed for the town center to access the hiking trails. There are many trails that start directly from the village. Most are very accessible. We decided to climb to the summit to admire the view of the Laurentian forests.
Après le petit déjeuner, nous sommes partis pour le centre ville pour accéder aux circuits pédestres. Il y a beaucoup de sentiers qui partent directement du village. La plupart des randonnées sont très accessibles. Nous avons décidé de monter au sommet pour admirer la vue sur les forêts des Laurentides.
Here's the start of the walk on the multi-purpose trail, for cycling and hiking in fine weather, and snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in winter. We soon leave the Corridor Aérobique to take a short trail up to the summit.
Voici le départ de la balade sur le sentier multifonctionnel, vélo et randonnée pendant les beaux jours et raquette et ski de fond en hiver. On quitte rapidement le Corridor Aérobique pour prendre un petit sentier qui monte au sommet.
It's a real pleasure to walk in this forest, where the paths are very well marked, with maps all along the way. What's more, they're very well maintained. You can admire the colors without worrying too much about where you put your feet.
C'est vraiment très agréable de se balader dans cette forêt ou les chemins sont très bien balisés avec des cartes un peu partout sur le chemin. En plus, ils sont très bien entretenus. On peut admirer les couleurs sans trop se soucier de savoir ou on pose les pieds.
The trees had very pretty colors from green for the fir trees to red for the maples. Like fireworks, at least that's the impression I get from this photo 🔽
Les arbres avaient de très jolies couleurs du vert pour les sapins au rouge pour les érables. Comme un feu d'artifices, enfin c'est l'impression que cela me donne sur cette photo 🔽
I thought I'd find a few mushrooms to take part in #FungyFriday. But as during the nights the temperatures are already below 0°, there wasn't much... Too bad, so my next participation will be next year 😀.
Je pensais trouver quelques champignons pour participer au #FungyFriday. Mais comme pendant les nuits les températures sont déjà en dessous de 0°, il n'y avait pas grand chose... Dommage, ma prochaine participation sera pour l'année prochaine 😀.
On the other hand, the view from the belvedere at the summit is quite obstructed by the trees. You can't admire the surrounding mountains, which you can only make out between the branches. The view must be worth it only in winter. Too bad, that's for another time...
Par contre au sommet, au belvédère, la vue est pas mal obstruée par les arbres. On ne peut pas admirer les monts environnants que l'on devine seulement entre les branches. Le point de vue doit valoir le coup seulement en hiver. Dommage cela sera pour une prochaine fois...
Back at the parking lot in the center of Morin-Heigts after this ride of just over 5 kilometers (3 miles), really not tiring. I hope you enjoyed it. Happy Wednesday Walk Challenge to all...
De retour au parking dans le centre de Morin-Heigts après cette balade d'un peu plus de 5 kilomètres, vraiment pas fatigante. J'espère que vous l'avez appréciez. Bon Wednesday Walk Challenge à tous...

Yep very nice weekend, especially with the colors of the trees.
Have a wonderful day too
Here all the colourful leaves are gone already, just the spruce and pine trees left 🌲🌳 it lasted only a few weeks.
Thank you so much 😊 enjoy your day!
That's what it's like to live in the Far North next to polar bears 😀 You must have enjoyed the northern lights, right?
Yep 😉
Sadly I probably was in the worst location for seeing the northern lights. Fully overcast, but a few days later I got green skies. No forms in the green though.

Yep it's the best season to visit Quebec, at least in my opinion.
Always a pleasure to participate to the Wednesday Walk.
Have a great day too
👍🙂👍
Beautiful colors 😍 looks like you caught it pretty close to peak. Colors still look good close to home but we drove over the mountains to dinner tonight and the eastern slope of the green mountains is definitely past peak - lots of sticks
There were already a few trees without leaves, but it was still beautiful, especially in the morning when you wake up with this view, it's a change from the city (even though I really like Montreal).
