We hiked Wood Bison Trail in Elk Island National Park. This trail is located on the south side of highway 16 across from the park gates. You are still in the park but you don’t need to go through the gates to get to this trail. Not as many people go to this trail. It’s …
Moss Lake Trail in Elk Island National Park is, so far, hands down the best trail we’ve hiked outside of the mountains. Lots of hills to work the muscles and lots to see along the way. The trail is not as wide as some of the others in the park giving it more of a …
We managed to book a site for the May long weekend even with the camping craze that the Covid-19 pandemic has caused. So we packed up our gear and headed out to Franchere Bay on Moose Lake Alberta. Part of the Lakeland area of Alberta. It’s not the mountains but it’s still a beautiful part …
We spent most of a Saturday out on the trails at Blackfoot Lake Provincial Recreation Area east of Edmonton, Alberta. We hiked a modified version of White Tail and Running Dog loop. Basically we came back a different route than was planned on the maps. We had run into some really muddy areas and tried …
We headed out to Elk Island National Park to hike Hayburger Trail. The trail is 11.9 km long and is a fairly easy hike. The trail is wide and relatively smooth walking with not a lot of big climbs. It was a really nice walk that opened into a huge clearing where we sat and …
While on our camping trip to Kinky Lake Alberta, we found a trail to hike. Ogre Canyon Trail is off the west side of Brule Alberta. I have to be honest, this was not my favorite hike. You walk along an off-highway vehicle road almost the entire 14.6 km. Don’t get me wrong, the scenery …
We have only been together for a short time and not at all in the camping season. Being who we are we both love camping. It’s going to be a huge part of what we do in the summers. Whether it’s just a camping trip, a home base for our hiking excursions, or multi-day backing …
You read that right. We have started a YouTube channel and have gone into video!!! We decided it was time to start really showing what our lifestyle is all about and the best way we thought to do that was with video. Please visit, watch, like and subscribe to our YouTube channel at Gen X-ventures …
We had a special treat this time. My kids joined us for a hike! We headed out to the Cooking Lake Alberta area and walked the Wanisan and Lost Lake loop. 8.5 km of beautiful trail to walk on. This was a really nice area to hike in. Lots of beaver activity and lots of …
We decided on a local hike for today’s hike. Ministik Lake Loop out in the Ministik Lake Bird Sanctuary southeast of Edmonton Alberta. And, of course, spring in Alberta was up to its tricks. It snowed the night before we went. A lot. We were pushing 5 or 6 cm of fresh, wet, spring snow. …
