If there is one thing about living in Canada it’s the scenery! It is beautiful anytime of year but Fall is one of the best times to see the true colours of Canada. Beginning around the end of September into November you will see Canadian Provinces turn into a luscious blend of gold and orange as the trees change colour before dropping off for the Winter. One of the best Provinces to see this change is in the Province of Quebec.
Why is Quebec the best place to see the change of seasons? For beginners Quebec is known for it’s stunning scenery all year long. Just take one drive along the coast of the St. Lawrence Seaway or North through Charlevoix and you will be amazed at the draw dropping vistas and small quaint towns along the way. It has been said there are more motorcyclists in Quebec than any other Province due to the popularity of road trips due to the beauty of the region.
Another reason is where Quebec is situated in Canada. It is located North and East of many other Provinces and is the gateway to Eastern Canada. While Western Provinces have the beauty of the mountains they sit further South than the other provinces so it can take longer for the seasonal change. The leaves change and have stronger colours in the colder regions therefore putting Quebec front and centre. So choose a route and pack that camera to see the best seasonal change in the country.
Although you can see the beauty in other places a great place to start is Quebec City. This is a central departure spot and going in any direction will offer beauty and charm of the region. Since it gets colder in Quebec than other Provinces the leaves change sooner which helps to keep you away from the Winter of Quebec. Usually the end of September through October is the best time to see the change, but don’t wait too long as it can be quick depending on the weather.
