Friends of mine rented a cottage in Lac-Des-Plages for a week so I decided to take advantage of this and spend the night there. The next day, I went to hike Mont-Tremblant. I was unaware it was Ironman weekend so it was crazy busy. I parked at P3 which had a shuttle running every 5 minutes. I started hiking the Johannsen trail which ends at Johannsen peak (930 m). Johannsen peak is a wooded summit.

After, I took the Sommets Trail to the gondola at the top of Mount-Tremblant (875 m). Along the trail is Pangman’s Peak (903 m) and Edge Peak (840 m) (photo at top).

The Sommets trail links up with a 2.5 km trail called the 360 trail which brings you to the gondola and an overcrowded tower that offers a 360 degree view of Mont Tremblant. Then I hiked back on the Vertigo Trail and Caps Trail to finish it off. The hike down was actually pretty cool very well maintained. All in all a good hike but not worth the 2 hour drive from Ottawa or Montreal. After the hike I was off to Vermont to catch the sunrise from the top of Mount Mansfield.

I arrived at the parking lot of Mount Mansfield around 10 pm and immediately went to sleep. I got up around 4 am looked up at the sky to not a single cloud. I was super excited because I knew the views were going to be fantastic. The hike up is a constant, gradual uphill that only has about 50 m of flat section throughout the whole hike. 500 meters from the top there is a sketchy class 2 scramble.
I arrived at the top and all I could see was clouds. I hung out with a few others in this little rock shield that protected us from the wind for about 2 hours but the sun never showed itself.
