Holy...! That's impressive. Of course, as a race fan, there's also the famous racetrack there, too.

Ausable Chasm is a great little side trip on the way to F1 in Montreal.

I live in Canada, east of Mtl, so not on my way. But I do pass it often on my to Schroon Lake.

And F1 in Mtl is awesome! Been twice and loved it.

It is totally worth the side trip. If you can spare the time, do a tour down into the chasm. Otherwise, if you are traveling through in spring during the winter melt, it is rather impressive just to view from the bridge. There are campsites there too with cabins.

I think I have been to F1 in MTL about 6 times, it is really fun. Hoping to do a European race next year.

You can actually take your car on there and do a few laps with a truck in front making sure you go a certain speed. After doing this, it gave me a new appreciation for race cr drivers.
