Itinerary

STOP 1

Start your day at one of the most unique landscapes in Canada and head out for a brief stroll. For the history buff in the car, we also included a seasonal museum as a bonus. Drive time to your second stop is 30 minutes.

STOP 2

Be wowed with expansive lookouts, stretch your legs and get your camera ready! Drive time to your third stop is 15 minutes.

STOP 3

Surely you have worked up an appetite by now. Pop into town and enjoy local roasters, un petit bistro, a funky brewery or a happening burger joint. We've also recommended a couple of our favourite up-and-coming shops. Drive time to your fourth stop is 25 minutes.

STOP 4

To end this surprise road trip adventure we're sending you to a few hidden (and maybe eerie) gems. If you want to keep going we have also included one last picturesque trail.

The trip includes patio options for when it's warm & takeaway that work well for your pet. There will also be at least one dog-friendly activity at each stop. If you bring your furry friend, you will be unable to bring them into any indoor suggestions.

Weekend trip!

I am from Ontario and decided to do this trip while I was visiting Calgary. Getting to roam around former booming towns that have since been abandoned was BEYOND cool. I am also not used to the type of landscape here, so I was in awe the entire trip.

I would say the second stop was my fave between the viewpoints and the fun little photo op.
