Challenge

Parc de la Chute-Montmorency, Québec |

There are two ways to get to the top of the waterfall at Parc de la Chute-Montmorency, Québec. The easy way is to take the cable car, which is more comfortable and faster but expensive. Or the other way (at no cost) is to climb the stairs. I thought we were going to take the cable car … thinking that there’s no way that I am going to climb all those steps … 

Well, turned out we decided to save money, taking on the stairs challenge. Since there’re no other alternatives, I started my climb cautiously and at the same time trying to hide my anxiety. The climbing part was a bit challenging but not as scary as I originally thought. In fact, I was glad that we took the stairs – we can truly enjoyed the views and all the ambiance at our own pace, and at the same time experienced this great sense of accomplishment which to me was simply priceless.
