No matter the size of your adventurous spirit, it could take a lifetime to explore the 1,000 kilometres of trails, multitudes of lakes, rivers and streams, and illustrious scenery of Banff National Park.
Summer is here and if we lived out East, we’d be packing up to head for the family cottage or beach house. Warm lakes not being plentiful here, we do what we can to escape the city, and we head for the hills or the Rockies as the case may be. Our favorite thing to do as a family is hiking, and I’ve been exploring the local trails since I moved to Calgary 12 years ago.
Lovable llamas, playful hay wagon rides, fresh juicy berries or fantastically fragrant lavender: these are some of the attractions that may entice your family on a summer visit to an Alberta farm. As our society grows hungrier for healthier, close-to-the-land and back-to-nature foods, we are also looking for leisure activities ‘close to home.’
Plane travel has become tedious with long waits and increased security, making flying with children a challenge. But even with all the inconveniences of travel, with some preparation, you and your children can enjoy the journey!
