Excellent hike beginning 5 minutes from Labelle, Quebec which is about 1 3/4 hrs. NW of Montreal on highway 117.
First we hiked for 1½ hrs to the top of Mount 360 which is named for the views which are fantastic and include Mt. Tremblant. We kept going and dropped down to Lac Nantel. Beautiful hardwood forest. Then we climbed up through sparsely wooded slopes and rocky outcrops to Mont Gorille. We had lunch atop 100 foot cliffs with a small lake at our feet and sweeping views to Mt. Tremblant, 6 miles distant. Total RT distance about 10 miles. The trail is part of the "Sentier National". I highly recommend it.
