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 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. …
On the last day of our Jasper getaway, we decided to hike the Mina Riley Loop. The trailhead is on the north side of the town and heads up into the hills behind the town. Right way we were challenged with the snow and ice on the trail. We really should have been wearing traction …
We recently took a few days off work for a much-needed mountain getaway. We headed out to Jasper National Park in Alberta Canada. We live about 4 hours away in Edmonton. Spring in the mountains is beautiful but can be a bit unpredictable. Our main purpose of the trip, other than to just get away …
