My Favourite Alberta Hiking Adventures! (Summer 2018 Edition)

October 1, 2018

Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

My friend and I often talk about the hikes that get you addicted to hiking. Not all hikes are created equal, and it all depends on your personality and what style of adventures you like.

Ha Ling Hiking Trail Alberta

This summer, I had two Alberta hikes that did that for me – that made me want to plan my next hike instantly.

Here they are. Please have good gear (hiking boots, lots of water, and possibly hiking poles) if you choose to do either of these hikes!!

#1: Lady MacDonald Teahouse Trail

Lady MacDonald Tea House Trail Hike Alberta Canada

This was one of those hikes that had me thinking about it, talking about it, looking at pictures of it, over and over again. Lady MacDonald is near Canmore – it is a difficult-rated, out and back hike, that is 8.7km and said to take about 4-7 hours, all depending how much time you spend sitting (and eating) in awe at the “Lady MacDonald Tea House” (that was never actually built).

This one isn’t super family-friendly, and doesn’t have great signage along the way, but if you want a bit of a challenge, and to feel strong and accomplished, and get a beauty-view, this is the hike that you add to your list!Lady MacDonald Tea House Trail Hike Alberta Canada

Take note that this hike is likely not for beginners and some people might appreciate hiking poles – do some reading on the AllTrails App, and as always, make sure you have enough water!

#2: Ha Ling Trail

This hike is straight up! It is a 5.6km, out and back hike, rated as difficult, with a meditative, forest setting. Ha Ling’s stunning views at the top are all worth that quick incline for the entire hike. It was closed quite a bit for maintenance this year, so make sure you check closures before heading out. Also, if you choose to do it when there may be some snow/ice on the ground, think about wearing ice cleats (you can easily rent these) and having hiking poles! Expect about 2-3 hours to complete this hike.

Ha Ling Hiking Trail Alberta

Ha Ling is a huge hit, so it can be very busy, and can be tricky passing people in the narrow sections. If possible, try to go during the week at quieter times. Ha Ling is much easier than Lady MacDonald, so maybe give this one a go first, and tell me when you catch that hiking bug!

As always, Happy Hiking!

3 Parenting Ways I’m Keeping Around Post-Pandemi 3 Parenting Ways I’m Keeping Around Post-Pandemic:

1. Protecting my postpartum space. [Have you heard of the “lying-in” period? Yup...I’ll be purposely quarantining with future babies. If you want to bring us food...”Thank you so, so much! You can leave it at the door, and we will see you in two weeks.🤍”]

2. Going more intimate on holidays and with celebrations. [Y’all know I love to throw a party, but having more intimidate holidays and birthdays has actually been really nice. Feel free to call me out when I can actually throw a party again though, and I invite all of Calgary...]

3. Welcoming my kid(s) into my work space. [This has been something that has made me so happy, been really beneficial for little C to be a part of, and has allowed me to “skip” my maternity leave.]

I know people have been missing their parenting village, but have you found any parenting wins from this wild experience?
“The secret to unlocking the ancient patterns in “The secret to unlocking the ancient patterns in human growth lies not in what we do to our young children, but who we are to them.”

I was saying to J yesterday that when I was in Edmonton and working wild hours back and forth between YYC and YEG, I was never able to enjoy a spontaneous adventure with him when he got a surprise day off...even though we are still both working lots and often passing our sweet C back and forth, I beyond appreciate these moments we can sneak in!

How do you stay connected with long distance friendships - Write letters? Facetime? Text? Something Unique??

“Practise makes progress.” Perfection is never “Practise makes progress.” Perfection is never what we’re looking for; progress is.

I’ve loved this saying for some time, and when I heard a parent say it to one of my students the other day, I nearly melted. 

[Side note: This is what podcasting with C-bear looks like. Have you been hearing her chime in on our recent podcasts?]

What are you working on “progressing” at right now?
