Visiting Montreal


101325

Recommended Posts

Depends on where you are staying in Montreal, but for downtown, if you do a search of your hotel Postal Code can give you a start. We also have had freezing rain and snow so it might be difficult to locate some caches

 

There are some good caches on Mount Royal,

Iced Tea 4 the King (GC123B), virtual, more or less the center of the City and good of place as any to start a search from

 

Not recommended this time of year due to their location, but if you are back in the summer months.

Tux #1 (GC89EF)

Hellmouth Montreal (GCH6Y1)

Dorval P.E.T. Bug Hotel (GCH7T7) should be easy, just becareful of the location, you will see when you get there.

Saturday Bike Ride 1 (GC130B) Might have to dig this one out

Iced Tea 15 (GC4C91) Nice little multi

Deco Stop 1 (GCH9F1)

Iced Tea 12' Excellent Adventure (GC2E97)

Nightly #1 (GCH85E)

 

These are most of the caches centered from Mount Royal, if you do a search from your hotel, you will see what is near you, hopefully we don't get much more snow as this would make some of these more difficult to find. I have found most and have marked which might be snowed in, others are from reading some of the recent logs. Have a great trip.

Many thanks for those! depending on weather and time I'll try and do some.

Some of my co-workers who have never been to Canada before are desperate to make an excursion to Niagra Falls over the weekend that we have free, good idea or not? I know this is off thread but as you seem knowledgeable I thought I'd ask. Thanks again for the suggestions.

You do know Niagara Falls is not just around the corner, right? According to MapQuest: Total Est. Time: 6 hours, 36 minutes Total Est. Distance: 655.04 km. http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.ad...-04b9d-400c330e

 

I think that is actually very optimistic. I think you could easily add another 3 hours. You could probably more realistically consider flying to Toronto, Hamilton or Buffalo, then renting a car or taking a bus. You could also take a train, possibly all the way, with a probable transfer in Toronto.

 

You might do well to contact a travel agent, before your trip, but you should know it is more than just a trip around the block. ;) Have a great trip.
