DIRECTIONS TO Mont St. Hilaire

From Vermont: Cross into Canada at Highgate Springs, VT and follow Route 133 North to Route 227 North. Watch for a sign for Route 229 North. Turn left onto Route 229. You will see the diggings high atop the mountain to your left. Stay on Route 229 until you see a sign for the quarry on left. Follow the road until you see a line of cars waiting. You must be there no later than 9 a.m. or you will not be allowed to enter. You can drive into the quarry. It closes promptly at 4 p.m. The quarry is an active quarry so be careful. Tony Gordian will collect your money and answer any questions you may have.
