Other Fun Hikes in Alberta – 2020 Edition

August 4, 2020

Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

Alberta has so much to explore! There are so many beautiful hikes in all areas, so don’t just think Banff and Canmore! Here are a few more that you might want to add to your wish list.

Prairie Mountain

I love Prairie Mountain! Best hike in Bragg Creek area, in my opinion! It’s rated as difficult, but as long as you have hiking knowledge, I’d say it still feels very safe. It’s challenging, but short, so this 6.4km out and back hike, is pretty much straight up incline, and then straight down decline. Watch where to go on the way down, as it’s pretty easy to get off trail, even though on the way up you will think there’s no way you could miss the trail down. This is a good one to have hiking boots for, possibly hiking poles, and to do in late summer or fall when there’s been nice weather, so you don’t slide on down! Prepare yourself for 666m of elevation gain and the most beautiful 360 degree view at the top! The summit isn’t a bad place for a picnic (and some warmer gear, in case you get chilly).

High Noon

I didn’t recommend this one in the very family-friendly hikes, because the second half of the hike has a pretty steep descent, but if you want to do this one carrying a baby, I would just suggest turning back after the ridge. Even without doing the whole hike (out by Black Diamond), you will have seen the gorgeous views and explored the stunning wild flowers. The start begins after you open the barbed-wire gate (that took us a while to figure out…as you feel like you’re trespassing). If you have the same experience as us, you won’t encounter a soul on this hike, so you will just have 5.1km of peaceful bliss. Bug spray is helpful – even though the bugs seemed to be worse parked on the side of the highway than on the actual trail. Hiking poles would be helpful on parts of this hike, along with a pre-downloaded map from AllTrails!

Happy Hiking!

Ready to hear my biggest overwhelm? The stuff. I Ready to hear my biggest overwhelm?

The stuff. I know this is a privileged point, so please be kind. I’ve always attempted to be a wannabe-minimalist (seeing as I have two of everything living between two places, but I want everything to have a purpose and a ‘home.’). 

I’ve very much noticed this be a trigger point for me since having kids, because J and I both have big families, and although their gift giving comes with so much heart and generosity, I’ve tried to find ways to bring in less stuff and to teach my kids to appreciate each gift, sooo less is more. 

Many years ago, my siblings adopted Sibling Christmas where instead of gifts, we have a special night out together! We love this tradition. After the overwhelm I felt this Christmas, being generously gifted Eberle gifts for now TWO kids, I asked J’s siblings if we can adopt a family-friendly event next year and remove all aunt/uncle/cousin gifts. Shout out to all my brother/sister-in-laws for getting on board. 

With C’s birthday party coming up, she asked for no gifts (OR a book as a gift).

Small steps, but always trying!!

Do you hang out in the shop with the kids for hours? Do you bring travel car seats and install them to get them home? Honestly, what have y’all done? Having another human help isn’t the solution here for me this time…😅

🎶’Cause I got a roof over my head I got a war 🎶’Cause I got a roof over my head
I got a warm body in bed
I'm doing alright right where I'm at
With what I have

[I got a Jeep, I got a dog]
I got what they call a dream job
Plenty to want, nothing wrong with that
But I'm happy with what I have

I got the air, good eyes to see
Got so much more than I'll ever need
Even the bad days ain't all that bad
With what I have🎶
