After all, the journey is just as important as the destination.<\/p><p>Start by assessing your abilities and those of the people you\u2019re hiking with. Are you looking for a peaceful walk in nature or your next outdoor challenge? Will children be coming along? Depending on your answers, you may prefer a shorter or longer distance, gentle elevation gains or steeper climbs, and anything from a quick outing to a longer hike.<\/p><p>Keep in mind that two trails of the same length can offer very different experiences. A 3 km hike on flat terrain won\u2019t require the same time or effort as covering the same distance on a rugged trail.<\/p><p>Don\u2019t forget the little extras that make all the difference. One trail might lead to a breathtaking lookout, while another could give you the chance to spot local wildlife.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

is one of the Laurentians\u2019 best-kept secrets for hikers of all skill levels. Its trail network was developed in the 1970s with the intention of showcasing the region\u2019s natural beauty from every angle. Across nearly 60 km of trails, you\u2019ll discover a protected natural area, a mix of deciduous and coniferous forests, and rich biodiversity. What truly sets the park apart, however, is that most of its trails are one-way, creating a sense of having nature all to yourself &#8211; something that\u2019s fairly rare in the region.<\/p><p>Good to know: Trail access is included with chalet and pod reservations, as well as camping stays. Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts residents also enjoy free access upon presentation of their resident card. For non-residents, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/parcregionalsadm.com\/en\/activities\/\">season passes and day passes<\/a><\/span> are also available at an affordable price.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08f3af8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"08f3af8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0087c8a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0087c8a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-359a097 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"359a097\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b06a64 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8b06a64\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Which Trail Should You Choose?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-004d38e elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"004d38e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;all_collapsed&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.

At the lookout, you\u2019ll be rewarded with exceptional panoramic views of the region. It\u2019s an especially beautiful trail to hike during the fall colour season<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>Grignon (4.8 km): Considered an intermediate alternative to the Vanier trail, Grignon also winds around Petit lac des Sables and leads to Refuge Desjardins. In winter, you might notice what looks like slides in the snow. With a bit of luck, you might even spot the otters that created them to slide down toward the lake, especially early in the morning or late in the evening.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>R11 (1.5 km): Our snowshoe trails are also popular year-round, especially because they\u2019re lined with mature deciduous trees that provide natural shelter when it rains. But R11 has something special: a natural amphitheatre created by the Oblate Fathers, who owned the land before it was transformed into a trail network.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-3162\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"3\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-3162\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> For a more challenging hike <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-3162\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca4f377 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ca4f377\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ccb1641 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ccb1641\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Gohier (3.1 km): Starting from Refuge Desjardins, this trail gradually takes you deeper into the Laurentian forest.
