Enjoy the dramatic, vibrant colours of autumn: observe the leaves turn bright red and yellow during the fall season. For an unmatched view of this stunning turn of the seasons, head to the Laurentian Mountains. With its vast sweep of coniferous forest, the beauty of the trees' colours at the peak of their metamorphosis – at the end of September to mid-October – is unrivalled.
