Montmorency Falls

*












 This is a beautiful little restaurant and tourist shop that sits just at the top of the falls. It's surrounded by a beautiful park as well which we wandered through a bit. It was a gorgeous September day to come see the falls. Not too many people, the sun was warm but not hot, and we spent a pleasant few hours just wandering through the area.

The Montmorency falls are a large waterfall on the Montmorency River in Quebec, Canada. The falls are at the mouth of the Montmorency River where it drops over the cliff shore into the Saint Lawrence River, opposite the western end of the Île d'Orleans. The waterfalls are 272' tall, a full 99' higher than Niagara Falls.
There are staircases that allow visitors to view the falls from several different perspectives. A suspension bridge over the crest of the falls provides access to both sides of the park. We were not daring enough to cross the suspension bridge to the other side.



 There was also an option to zipline from one side of the bridge to the other. Honestly, had I not been in marathon recovery mode and struggling to walk up steps, I totally would have done the zipline.

 
 There is also an aerial tram (Funitel) that carries passengers between the base and the top of the falls. Because both my dad and I did not have the energy to take the massive staircase to the bottom of the falls, and then have to walk back up that long staircase, we used the tram. I don't regret it either. It is certainly a beautiful place and definitely worth seeing.
