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.

You can bring your pup on Rural Adventures! If you’re visiting in the summer and plan to bring your dog, remember it can get extremely hot so never leave your furry friend in the car.


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.

We recommend bringing between 2- 5 people on your surprise road trip adventure.

After booking your trip, we'll send you a confirmation email with a few recommended accommodation options.

Fun Road Trip

We have been to Drumheller but not all of the other lesser known spots. It was great to see and explore the quirky towns and viewpoints that we wouldn't have known about. Looking forward to another trip.

Rural adventures is a must!

I absolutely loved this! I chose to do it in the winter for my birthday and had so much fun! I am definitely wanting to do it again in the summer to do a little more hiking!

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.
