No beds in the park — sleep in Saint-Bruno or Longueuil.
Mont-Saint-Bruno is a Monteregian hill park on Montréal's south shore, run by Sépaq and open year-round. One day covers the walking; winter adds groomed cross-country ski trails, snowshoeing and evening skiing on Wednesdays to Fridays. The park has no accommodation, so you sleep in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville or Longueuil and come in by car or the winter weekend shuttle.

- North America ↗Crossing between the US, Canada and Mexico by land needs your passport even on a day trip; rental cars need the company's written permission to cross, and most US and Canadian rental insurance stops at the Mexican border.
- North America ↗Cannabis is legal in Canada and in many US states, but taking any amount across the US, Canadian or Mexican border is a federal crime — including edibles and vapes.
- North America ↗The busiest US and Canadian national parks need timed-entry, campsite or lodge reservations in summer; release dates are months ahead.
- Canada ↗Visa-exempt travellers flying to or through Canada usually need an eTA; check your passport on the official Government of Canada site (canada.ca) and apply only there.
- Canada ↗A Parks Canada pass is needed to stop in national parks such as Banff and Jasper; some spots (for example Moraine Lake) are reached only by shuttle or tour, so book ahead.
- Canada ↗Keep well away from bears, elk and moose; carry bear spray on Rockies trails and follow trail closures.
