Mount Saint-Hilaire), (see names of mont Saint-Hilaire for other names) is an isolated hill, 414m (1,358ft) high, in the Montie region of southern Quebec. It is about thirty kilometers east of Montreal, and immediately east of the Richelieu river. It is one of the Monteregian Hills. Around the mountains are the towns of Mont-Saint-Hilaire and Saint-Jean-Baptiste. Other nearby towns include Otterburn Park, Beloeil and McMasterville.The area surrounding the mountain is a biosphere reserve, as one of the last remnant of the primeval forests of the Saint-Lawrence valley. Most of the mountain is currently the property of McGill University, as the Gault Natural Reserve. The University has opened the western half of the mountain to visitors (at a fee) for hiking and cross-country skiing, as the Milieu Naturel (en. Natural Area). The eastern half, or Milieu de Conservation (en. preservation area) is not accessible to the general public.Mont Saint-Hilaire is home to a wide variety of fauna and flora, as well as a number of rare minerals, including some which are unique to the region. Until the late nineteenth century, the lack of information on more remote summits of Quebec, as well as the relatively high prominence (about 400m (1,312ft)) of Mont Saint-Hilaire, led to it being mistaken as the highest summit in Quebec. In actuality, Saint-Hilaire's 414 meters falls far short of making it the highest mountain in Quebec..Mont Saint-Hilaire holds a wide variety of minerals, including some which were discovered in the mountain. These minerals are exploited by a quarry on the north-eastern side of the mountain. In addition, the soil is ideal for the growth of apple trees, and the mountain's apple orchards draws tens of thousands of visitors each year.Contents1 Geography 1.1 Cliffs 1.2 Lac Hertel 2 Geology 2.1 Mineral Wealth 3 Ecology 4 History 4.1 Development of the region 4.2 The Gault reserve 5 Names of Mont Saint-Hilaire 6 Mont Saint-Hilaire in culture 6.1 In art 6.2 In religion 6.3 In Legends 6.4 In Esotericism 7 See also 8 References 9 External links // GeographyThe western part of the mountain, seen from the northThe mountain stands 414m (1,358ft) above the sea level, or 400 meters above the surrounding plains . It has several summits, surrounding a central lake, the Lac Hertel (en. Lake Hertel).Most of the well-known summits of the mountain are in the western (open to the public) part. They are the Pain de Sucre (en. Sugar Loaf), 414m (1,358ft) high, the Sunrise, 405m (1,329ft) high, the Rocky, 403m (1,322ft) high, and the Sommet Dieppe (en. Dieppe Summit), 371m (1,217ft) high as well as Burnt Hill(320m (1,050ft) high)..The summits of the eastern half of the mountain, which is closed to the public, are generally little known, to the point that most official maps fail to identify the distinct summits at all. Only a few names are known, such as East Hill and Lake Hill. These summits range from 277 to 392 meters in elevation. CliffsMont Saint-Hilaire seen from the south. The Dieppe, Rocky and Pain de Sucre summits are visible (in order) to the leftThe best-known feature of the mountain is the cliffs. Collectively known as the falaise dieppe or falaise de Dieppe , (en. Dieppe cliffs) the cliffs are part of the Dieppe summit, and nearly 175m (574ft) high. Some of the best known features of the cliffs include the 60-meter high Tour rouge (en. Red tower), as well as two slabs, the Dalle noire (en. Black slab) and Dalle Verte (en. Green slab), which rise at a 75-degree angle. .The cliff's unique ecosystem hosts lichens, as well as cedar trees, some of which may be as much as five hundred years old. It also hosts the mountain's population of peregrine falcon. However, the action of rock climbers has proven destructive to the ecosystem, in addition to being dangerous to the climbers themselves. A white cross on the cliff commemorate the death of a boy scout in 1941.Lac HertelAt the center of the mountain is the Lac Hertel, a lake in a glacially-formed depression in the middle of the various summits. It covers an area of 0.3 square kilometers, and has a maximum depth of 9m (30ft). It is fed by three permanent streams; a fourth flow from the lake toward the...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about unique alarm clock, cashmeresilk blended yarn, .
