Mont-Tremblant’s summit: 360 degree panoramic view of the park from the belvedere

At the Parc du Mont-Tremblant, the belvedere located on the top of the mountain gives us an impressive 360 degree panoramic view of the whole region and the big storm advancing over the Tremblant Lake.

Later that saturday (02/aug.) the storm killed a mother and her 9-years-old son in Témiscouata region, eastern Quebec. Their car plunged into a lake and was swept away when a section of the road was washed-out by flash floods.
