Simple, micro cache - great view. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...2f-7af4b9e780e0 Parc Maissoneuve is a nice, flat place to walk around and grab some finds as well. This one is kinda in the middle of the area, so work your way out from it. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...2f-7af4b9e780e0 Edited May 15, 2010 by HomerJFong Quote Link to comment

Here is a cache in the park you are talking about. It is roughly 6-7km north of the main downtown area. Quote Link to comment
+hurleyanne Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I also liked caching on Mont Royal itself. The Earthcache there has a nice view of the city too. Quote Link to comment
+breaultm Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I'm going to be watching this thread closely since I'll be spending a week over there in July (vacation). Quote Link to comment

I am going to be there next weekend for a few days and was considering doing that. Quote Link to comment

I am going to be there next weekend for a few days and was considering doing that. I did, but we only found a couple - my friend was carrying around his drum for tam tam (the Sunday drum circle at the park to the east of the 'mount'). I think you could spend a nice chunk of day out there. Be prepared for some mosquitos in the bush... and squirrels everywhere! Quote Link to comment
+blackjack65 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) For Da Vinci Code type fans, there is my GCWCFD Edited May 17, 2010 by blackjack65 Quote Link to comment
danoshimano Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 For Da Vinci Code type fans, there is my GCWCFD I have that one on my radar (even though I am am the furthest thing from a "Da Vinci code" fan). I thought it might be a good one for a group of mostly non-geocacher sightseers, so we have plans to do it sometime this weekend. However, I am concerned about my mom-in-law, who can't really do much walking. It looks like about 11 stages, but are they all within the same church? How much total walking is there? Thanks.

+The red-haired witch Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 There is also a Stargate cache on Mont Royal, those are pretty rare... I haven't visited it myself, so couldn't tell you if it is a nice spot, but with a terrain rating of 4, it's bound to be off the beaten track. If you are in shape, there are stairs going most of the way up the mountain... and a nice view from those stairs. It really depends on what type of caches you like and what areas you'd like to visit. Montreal has lots of tricky puzzles, well-hidden micros in "touristy" areas like Old Montreal, easier caches on trails in large city parks that can make you believe you are far from town...

+comerford Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll see how many of them I can get done during my visit. Quote Link to comment
+snaggles8 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I will also be watching this post closely as I'll be there for a few days in August. Keep 'em coming people! Quote Link to comment
