ACROSS THE LAND
Hiking is a popular way to explore Alberta's diverse landscapes. Within the Edmonton area there are plenty of scenic parks that contain hiking and walking trails. Easily accessible from Edmonton's city centre, the Edmonton River Valley can be explored by beginner hikers, runners or walkers. There are over 150 km (93 mi) of trails winding along the banks of the North Saskatchewan River. Open year round, these trails provide splendid scenic views no matter the season. In winter the trails become snow-covered, making excellent tracks for cross-country skiers and snowshoers. For those who desire to escape the city limits, just 40 minutes east is a provincial recreation area called Cooking Lake. Here, activities such as horseback riding, hiking and birdwatching can be enjoyed.
Hiking tours are an option for visitors unsure of where to go and what to see. There are tour groups that offer custom-made day hiking trips in the Edmonton region. Watchable Wildlife Tours takes visitors to wetlands and backcountry trails to observe Albertan wildlife while hiking. The tour company makes things as easy as possible, providing return transportation to Edmonton hotels.
