Lac des Trois Montagnes, La Conception, QC, Canada

She clips the carabineer onto the metal ring drilled into the rock. Reaching out with her foot she teeters between metal steps walking the “iron road.” It would be less scary not to look down, but the view is one of the things that made her hang herself off the side of this cliff. She checks her protection one more time, then leans out and looks down. Below her, is one of the most beautiful views in the Laurentides Region of Quebec. Literally hundreds of lakes dot the landscape. She imagines she can pick out Lac des Trois Montagnes, and tonight when she is sipping wine on the deck of her lakeside vacation home she will look back at the mountain and remember this moment. The day, she’ll remember the rest of her life.
