Nordegg-Beaverdam Loop
Brief Description:
This hike has something for nearly everyone. For the amateur botanist the orchids of Beaverdam will be reason enough to take this walk. For the history buff, it’s a chance to walk a kilometre or two along the historic rail bed of the Canadian Northern Railway that alone made the coal mines at Nordegg a viable operation.
