Description


-View from East side- Mont Saint-Hilaire (in English: Mount Saint-Hilaire), (see names of mont Saint-Hilaire for other names) is an isolated hill, 414 m (1,358 ft) high, in the Montérégie region of southern Quebec. It is about thirty kilometres east of Montreal, and immediately east of the Richelieu River. It is one of the Monteregian Hills. Around the mountains are the towns of Mont-Saint-Hilaire and Saint-Jean-Baptiste. Other nearby towns include Otterburn Park, Beloeil and McMasterville. The area surrounding the mountain is a biosphere reserve, as one of the last remnants of the primeval forests of the Saint-Lawrence valley. Most of the mountain is currently the property of McGill University, as the Gault Nature Reserve. The University has opened the western half of the mountain to visitors (at a fee) for hiking and cross-country skiing, as the Milieu Naturel (natural area). The eastern half, or Milieu de Conservation (preservation area) is not accessible to the general public. _______________________________________ VUE coté Est Le mont Saint-Hilaire est l'une des neuf collines montérégiennes situées près de Montréal au sud-ouest du Québec. Il est nommé en l'honneur d'Hilaire de Poitiers, docteur de l'Église. La montagne fait partie de l'aire centrale de la réserve de biosphère du Mont-Saint-Hilaire qui a été désignée en 1978, une première au Canada. Situé dans la ville de Mont-Saint-Hilaire et vieux de 125 millions d'années, le mont Saint-Hilaire couvre une superficie de 16 km2 sur le versant droit du bassin du fleuve Saint-Laurent, dans la MRC La Vallée-du-Richelieu en Montérégie. À 30 km à l’est de Montréal, il fait face à la ville de Belœil, dont il est séparé par la rivière Richelieu. Il donne son nom à la municipalité qui est à ses pieds, la ville de Mont-Saint-Hilaire. Selon Statistique Canada, sa population en 1996 était de 13 064, en 2005 la population était de 16 177 alors qu'en 2011 elle se chiffrait à 18 200.

Thanks for the photo. I heard a bit about it when I was at McGill Univ. in the 1970s, but had no means of visiting the place. Nice photo of the surroundings. Glad you're photographing Canadian motifs. Keep up the good work! :-)
