Westmount Summit, Summit in Westmount, Canada.
The Westmount Summit rises 201 meters above sea level, featuring natural pathways through an urban forest of intrusive rock formations and diverse plant species.
In 1895, McGill University acquired the summit land through William Christopher Macdonald's donation to construct an observatory for their Survey School program.
The City of Westmount purchased Summit Woods from McGill University in 1940 for $300,000, establishing it as a permanent public park spanning 57 acres.
During bird nesting season from April to June, visitors must keep their dogs on leashes to protect the wildlife within this designated sanctuary.
The forest contains more than 150 bird species, twenty types of mammals, and thousands of insect varieties within its protected urban woodland environment.
