The city of Montreal doesn’t seem to want you to find the Outremont Summit or the park around it. No signs greet visitors, the official Mount Royal tourist map is elusive and entrances are not easily accessed via public transit.

The lookout at the top of the Outremont Summit in Montreal’s Tiohtià:ke Otsira’kéhne Park gives visitors a view of northwestern Montreal. On a clear day, you can see Lac des Deux Montagnes.
Here’s what it’s like to wander around Tiohtià:ke Otsira’kéhne Park in Outremont.
As part of my Montreal Gazette series about hiking Mount Royal, I walked up to the Outremont Summit in a park the city recently named Tiohtià:ke Otsira’kéhne (pronounced djodjâgué otchira’guéné). The summit and park are not easy to find.
