The glacier-topped peaks, aqua lakes, and scenic campgrounds of the Canadian Rockies draw most of Alberta’s visitors, who come to explore Banff and Jasper national parks. And beyond those parks, this western province is worth visiting to hike through the Canadian Badlands’ unusual rock formations; delve into the region’s indigenous heritage; road trip along the Cowboy Trail; or visit Dinosaur Provincial Park. Alberta’s largest cities are Calgary, a 90-minute drive from Banff, and Edmonton, four hours from Jasper.

Alberta’s most popular region includes Banff and Jasper national parks, drawing visitors from around the world to Lake Louise, the Icefields Parkway, and other scenic spots. The town of Canmore, 20 minutes’ drive from Banff’s south entrance, is a good place to get supplies. Waterton Lakes National Park borders Montana’s Glacier National Park south of Calgary and across the border in the U.S.

The gateway to the Rockies, Calgary is also a short drive from the Canadian Badlands, where you can explore unusual hoodoos and rocky canyons. The region around Drumheller and Dinosaur Provincial Park, where Canada’s early dinosaurs were unearthed, has plenty to interest paleontology fans.

The center of the province includes Alberta’s Cowboy Trail, where cattle ranches are still active and you can trace the area’s cowboy past. Visit Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site to learn about Alberta’s heritage as a fur trading hub, as well as its indigenous First Nations and Métis cultures.

Edmonton is the jumping-off point for both Jasper National Park and the province’s vast north, where remote Wood Buffalo National Park extends into the Northwest Territories. But you don’t have to go far to delve into the wild—just outside Edmonton, more than 1,000 bison roam the protected prairies of Elk Island National Park.

Sundre, AB · 8 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

Collin’s Wood is a very special place indeed. The land was bought by my grandfather years ago when he moved to Canada from England and wanted to chase his log cabin dream. Our main cabin my family built from trees on the land, entirely by hand. We have photos of the trees being cut and the bark being peeled off. Since then, we’ve made many changes out there, we now have a guest cabin that used to be a Teacheridge (back when teachers would live in a one room building beside the school), eventually it was turned into a cafe and now it sits on our land as a guest cabin. This place is so magical. With a quarter section of land I grew up running through the forest with my friends and learning about what the land has to offer. My parents have spent every spare weekend out there making this paradise into what it is today. All the buildings were created by my family through labour and love. We’ve hosted weddings, and family reunions. We hope you appreciate how special this place is. Come see for yourself!

Weekend Trip to DNA Gardens

Peaceful escape to the country where you can pick fruit, watch bats, have a drink and lunch at the cafe, peruse the store, grab ice cream, participate in their brisket dinner, pizza night, or pancake breakfast. Or just walk around the property admiring the flowers, watching ground squirrels, woodpeckers, bluebirds, and golden finches. Staff of the orchard are friendly and owner Dave is knowledgeable and happy to share his wisdom. They book land on a few different apps so you may have neighbours but it’s still secluded.

Saskatoon Fruit ripe the last 2 weeks in July!

Weekend Trip to DNA Gardens

I’m a bit hesitant to give a great review, afraid that more people will discover this hidden gem. I really want this to be our little secret. We’re big campers, and this was definitely one of the best camping trips we’ve ever had. Watching the sunset over the haskap orchard was breathtaking, and then the bluebirds put on an incredible song and dance show. Our little 2-year-old absolutely loved it too!

Weekend Trip to DNA Gardens

This campsite was everything that we expected and more. The location within the orchard is beautiful and private and the owners are very knowledgeable and welcoming. We enjoyed all that the property had to offer and it did not disappoint. DNA gardens has plenty to keep busy while also maintaining a relaxed atmosphere- we relaxed under the trees and tried their charcuterie board and sampled the various wines that they make on site while our kids played in the play area, we enjoyed exploring their bat walk and nature trail, and went to their brisket dinner in their beautiful green house. My kids are still raving about how delish the dinner was! If we were local we would absolutely be visiting again, for now we will just have to savour the treats we purchased at the little farm store.

Weekend Trip to DNA Gardens

We enjoyed our stay at DNA gardens, the orchard is beautifully and the people are kind and helpful. We really enjoyed their Bootlegged Brisket dinner and bought several goodies from their store. The only thing to keep in mind is there is a gas plant across the road from where we camped and a gas generator that runs 24/7. I was a bit concerned that we’d have to deal with the background noise for two days, however as Dave mentioned, you only really hear it if the wind is blowing in your general direction. We’ll definitely recommend DNA gardens to our friends.
