Great fall colours right in the middle of the City. The North Saskatchewan river valley is fantastic. As North America's largest urban park system it's a fantastic amenity.

A little hometown plug here, and the last photo I took of my city. Although the viewpoint known as the "End of the World", is now technically off-limits, many locals regularly ignore the no-tresspass signs - at risk of not only a steep fine, but also the steep drop.

Once a retaining wall for a long-ago closed road, it's one of the most beautiful locations in Edmonton to view the changing colours of the river valley in the autumn. While I cannot actually suggest you go here, it's probably the worst-kept "secret" in town.

Property was okay but not great. The furniture was obviously worn (the corner of the bed frame looked like a dog had chewed it.) Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was alright. Not very many fresh options. One type of fruit and they ran out of yogurt. No vending machines or snack options on site either. ...
