    Starts near
    Parc Denise Morelle
    Main streets
    Rue Drolet → Avenue Van Horne → Boulevard Rosemont → Rue Saint-Denis → Boulevard Saint-Joseph Est

    A squirrel for a mountain that has real ones: the route climbs onto Mount Royal on Redpath Crescent and Chemin Olmsted, then heads north to Avenue Van Horne and Boulevard Rosemont.

    It starts near Parc Denise Morelle on Rue Drolet and later follows Rue Saint-Denis and Boulevard Saint-Joseph Est; 29.3 km.

  • GPS art route: a flower drawn around Mount Royal, Montreal, starting near Parc Lahaie
    Flower, 16.9 km, Montreal. Map © OpenStreetMap contributors

    Urban
    Starts near
    Parc Lahaie
    Main streets
    Boulevard Saint-Laurent → Boulevard De Maisonneuve Ouest → Avenue Cedar → Belvedere Road → Avenue Lajoie

    The flower starts near Parc Lahaie on Boulevard Saint-Laurent and wraps its petals around the mountain on Avenue des Pins Ouest, Avenue Cedar, Belvedere Road, Chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine and Avenue Lajoie.

    At 16.9 km it is the shortest of the four.

  • GPS art route: a maple leaf drawn north of Mount Royal, Montreal, starting near Côte-des-Neiges station
    Maple leaf, 29.2 km, Montreal. Map © OpenStreetMap contributors

    Maple leaf, 29.2 km

    Length
    29.2 km
    Mode
    Urban
    Starts near
    Côte-des-Neiges
    Main streets
    Avenue Vivian → Avenue Thérèse-Lavoie-Roux → Rue Saint-Urbain → Rue Saint-Zotique Est → Chemin de la Tour

    The maple leaf starts near Côte-des-Neiges metro station and spreads north of the mountain; its streets run from Avenue Vivian to Rue Saint-Hubert.

    It follows 26 different named streets for at least 300 m each, so the leaf's points come from a lot of turns; it is 29.2 km and about 4.4 by 4.9 km.

  • GPS art route: a dense snowflake drawn over downtown Montreal and Mount Royal, starting on Chemin Remembrance
    Snowflake, 50.6 km, Montreal. Map © OpenStreetMap contributors

    Snowflake, 50.6 km

    Length
    50.6 km
    Mode
    Urban
    Starts near
    Chemin Remembrance
    Main streets
    Chemin Olmsted → Avenue des Pins Ouest → Rue Sherbrooke Ouest → Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest → Rue Peel

    The most compact route here for its length: 50.6 km packed into about 3.7 by 3.9 km, because a snowflake is made of many short arms.

    It starts on Chemin Remembrance on the mountain and reaches downtown on Rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest and Rue Peel, down to Rue Saint-Paul Ouest.

Montreal as a Strava art canvas

Montreal covers most of the Island of Montreal, between the Saint Lawrence River to the south and the Rivière des Prairies to the north. In its middle stands Mount Royal, a three-peaked hill 232 m high just west of downtown; two roads cross it, Camillien Houde Way (Remembrance Road on part of its route) and Côte-des-Neiges Road.

The mountain is the feature our routes keep coming back to. The flower wraps around it on Avenue des Pins Ouest, Avenue Cedar and Belvedere Road, the snowflake starts on Remembrance Road, and the squirrel climbs it on Chemin Olmsted, while the maple leaf spreads out north of it.
