A little spring reminder we probably all needed. 🌸
There’s just something about those very first flowers of the year… the kind you have to go looking for. Around the Grande Prairie region, that moment shows up at Kleskun Hills when the crocuses start to bloom.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get outside and soak up this late but beautiful spring, this is it. ☀

A few days ago the flower trees in Northern Alberta started to show off their beauty.
It`s a short season for the blossoms, but it`s a gorgeous one. 🌸

A few more snaps from our day trip to beautiful Dunvegan 😃 We are off to a new spot we`ve never been to this weekend, staying within Alberta, and can`t wait to see something new. Soaking up the last of our summer!
Any guesses where I`m off to next?

We basically had the lake to ourselves. The vehicles in the parking lot were long gone when we got back to the truck. #musreaulake #northernalberta #pelicankayak #UnforgettableNWAB

Summer in the Grande Prairie region has a way of expanding your plans once you get here. A weekend turns into a few extra days, and the reason is usually the same. There’s more to experience than expected, and it’s all closer together than it looks on a map.
From July 24–26, 2026, the Canadian National Champions arrive for an elite weekend of competition hosted by GP Disc Golf. It brings high-level play into a landscape that already feels built for movement, focus, and time outdoors.
But the event is just one part of the experience.
This is the kind of trip where mornings can start on forest trails, afternoons shift into watching world-class disc golf unfold, and evenings settle into local food, patios, and long summer light that refuses to rush you along. The region rewards people who stay a little longer. Not just to see more, but to feel the pace change.
The terrain, the open spaces, and the summer energy all work together in a way that makes it easy to extend the stay without planning it too hard.

Loud. Muddy. Unforgettable.
The Wembley Mud Bogs returns June 20 - 21, bringing two days of high-adrenaline competition, roaring engines, and a crowd that knows exactly why they came.
Don`t forget your earplugs.
