As the colours begin to show, what could be better than a hike to fill your eyes with beautiful scenery and your lungs with fresh autumn air? Boasting over 1,000 km of trails, the Townships are the perfect backdrop for a fall stroll! The Mégantic, Ham, Owl’s Head, Orford and Bromont mountains are just some of the twenty or so peaks you can climb to challenge yourself against a backdrop of brilliant hues.
