Montreal is located in the Canadian country in the North American region. Montreal is a great place to visit all year round, but with the weather over the spring and summer, it is just delightful to see during warmer months. Being able to stroll down the Lachine Canal and through old Montreal, grab some food in the Jean-Talon Market, or go for a hike through Mount Royal Park; these are some of the best things around downtown Montreal. The only issue is there is so much to see and do in one of Canada's most dense cities, my parents like I’m sure many others, didn't know where to start with planning so that they optimize their six days in the city.

In May, 2017 I took a trip from Los Angeles to Vancouver, Canada. I decided I was going to try camping out the whole way up. I would split my time between finding trails for day hikes, going for a walk on the beaches I passed, and taking classes at OrangeTheory Fitnesses along the way. I only lasted camping one night in Henry Cowell State Park.
