Mt-Tremblant Stargazing Trip
-
Here is the current plan for this Friday's Mt-Tremblant trip! We will meet at Lac Provost - Plage at 6:30 PM. This place is located in Mont-Tremblant national park and will be an excellent place to stargaze at! We estimate the area to be a Bortle 3 (2 if we go higher up), so that should give us some phenomenal views. We should be back in Montmorency by midnight in time to catch the last metro/buses of the night.
