Parc de la Chute - Montmorency falls, Quebec Canada

The Montmorency Falls form a large waterfall in Quebec, Canada, located near Quebec City. The falls, at 83 meters (272 ft.) high, are the highest in the province of Quebec and 30 m (98 ft.) higher than Niagara Falls. The basin at the foot of the falls is 17 m (56 ft.) deep. The falls are at the mouth of the Montmorency River where it drops over the cliff shore into the Saint Lawrence River, opposite the western end of the Île d'Orleans.
The falls may be viewed from several perspectives. There are staircases that allow the visitor to observe them from different angles. When you look from a certain point(almost at the end of the stairs or at the parking lot)you will be able to see the perfect shape of a heart, it is very beautiful. A suspension bridge over the crest of falls provides access to both sides of the park as well as a spectacular view. There is also an aerial tram (cable car) that carries passengers between the base and the top of the falls.
