This mountain is open year round. It's a perfect workout to get ready for harder hikes. There's a little bit of a scramble at the summit but the view of the valley of Richelieu is worth it. On the top you have a perfect 360 degree view.
Directions:
From Montreal, highway 20, exit Mont Saint-Hilaire. Follow the blue signs "Réserve naturelle Gault" / "Centre de la Nature"

UpsideThis trail is close to the city of Montreal, 40 minutes, It has different leve of trail from easy to medium hard. It's great when you don't have time to go far.
DownsideYou should not go there during apple season, mid september as there are a lot of orchard on the way there and trafic can a real pain.
CommentI have added pictures so that people can have a view of the area. You can go there year round. In the winter snowshoing and cross country skiing are very good.
