Rural Adventures

I Wish They Knew We Were Coming

The road trip was a fun day exploring with friends. The destinations were unique and interesting however, in speaking with the staff at many of the destinations, they had no idea they were on the road trip itinerary. Some stops were very busy. Try not to go close to a major holiday. There were many shops on this particular trip and it occurred to me that if they knew they had guaranteed customers coming, they may have offered a discount to encourage a purchase, but as I mentioned above, many destinations didn’t know they were on the GWT itinerary. Overall, it was a good way to spend a day with friends.

Rural Roads

Very fun! As Albertans we were able to guess what most of the content would be in advance but we’re still awed by one of the stops! I wish we had more options for trips closer to Edmonton. We made a trip of it and stayed overnight in the major town that is close to all the stops. For a visitor to Alberta I think this would be extremely unique. One note I think should be added. There are quite a few hilly roads and roads that are not paved. If you drive a small car this can be difficult.

Fun Road Trip

We have been to XXXXXXXXXX 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.
