There’s something magical about autumn in the Saddle Hills — where crisp air, golden trees, and winding trails lead to hidden gems like the Cotillion Waterfall Trail.

Just a short drive from Grande Prairie, this scenic trail offers the perfect fall escape — whether you’re after a peaceful walk surrounded by colour or a little adventure with family and friends. The sound of the falls, the crunch of leaves underfoot, and that quiet feeling of awe remind you why we call this place untapped, unfiltered, unforgettable.

Pack a thermos, layer up, and make a day of it — because fall doesn’t last forever, but the memories sure do.
