Northwest Alberta is full of hidden gems, and we’re here to help you explore them. Whether you’re a local or visiting for the first time, we’ve got curated itineraries for every kind of adventure, so you can experience the region your way.
Most waterfalls are remote with limited or no cell service. Please plan and prepare appropriately. Let someone know where you are going and when you plan to be back, with plans on what to do if you do not return at the intended time. There are potentially bears, cougars, lynx, moose, elk, and deer in the area; be sure to bring bear spray and know what to do in case of close encounter with wildlife. Do not attempt to get close to wildlife. Weather can sometimes be unpredictable, so bring the appropriate gear, first aid kit, food, water, and have adequate fuel for the duration of travel. Trail conditions change, and sometimes used by off road vehicles, so plan for appropriate footwear.
Water levels will vary depending on weather. Peak time to discover waterfalls is in the spring but be aware that wildlife is more active during this time. Summer and fall the waterfalls may be serene, gentle, or small depending on heat and drought conditions. Use caution if intending to swim in rivers with fast currents or undertow, be aware of rain conditions that can cause fast flooding, rocks will be slippery and sharp. Do not jump off waterwalls, venture beneath or swim directly underneath, as rocks are likely to fall, hidden hazards, risk of bacteria, strong currents, and lack of buoyancy in aerated water are real hazards. Waterfalls in the winter are frozen or non-existent.

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. ☀

World Bee Day highlights how closely our food systems depend on pollinators. In Northwestern Alberta, that connection has a strong local impact, where rural landscapes play a meaningful role in global food security, one hive at a time. 🐝
Located in Beaverlodge, The National Bee Diagnostic Centre is Canada’s only dedicated bee health lab. Beekeepers from across the country send hive samples here to identify issues like mites, disease, and colony stress, supporting pollination on a national scale.
In a region shaped by agriculture, this work reflects the intersection of farming, applied research, and rural innovation.
From applied research to wide-open landscapes, the region rewards the curious. Visit gptourism.ca 🌻

There`s a spectrum to outdoor travel, and Northwest Alberta covers the whole thing. 🏕️ On one end: a tent, a fire, and a sky full of stars. On the other: a glamping setup that comes with actual thread count. Everything in between counts too.
Forested campsites, lakeside retreats, full-service RV parks. The Northwestern Alberta region has a way of making the landscape feel like it was built for exactly the kind of trip you had in mind. 🌲
Peak season fills up fast, especially on weekends so booking early is worth it. And before you go, check local fire restrictions so you`re up to speed on what`s in effect where you`re headed.

Happy International Museum Day to everyone who`s ever gone rogue on a self-guided tour and stayed three hours longer than planned. 🏛️
Museums and cultural centres are doing something quietly remarkable — holding onto the fossils, artifacts, stories, and records that tell us who we are and where we came from. In this region, that means dinosaurs and deep prairie roots, local archives and Indigenous history that deserves to be known. And beyond the history lesson, these spaces are a draw for curious travelers looking for experiences with real depth.

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?
