The North Saskatchewan River diagonally bisects the city, and Edmontonians are very (oddly) proud of their valley.
Networks of 'multi-use' trails (for bicycles, rollerblades, joggers, etc) abound up and down the river, and some parts of the valley are very popular and can get fairly crowded.
But it isn't hard to find a serene spot to gaze at nature. Not talking about tiny little animals.. I've seen a deer jump right in front of me before! The valley is so 'wild' that it doesn't seem like you are in the middle of the city at all. This picture for example was taken just downstream from Quesnell Bridge of Whitemud Drive (this city's best attempt at a freeway) - you can only barely make out some distant buildings on the U of A campus.

The Reynolds Museum is a world class venue that almost nobody knows about. It interprets the impact of technological change in transportation, aviation, agriculture and industry from the 1890s to the 1970s. Visitors will see a wide variety of vintage automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, trucks, stationary engines, tractors, agricultural implements, aircraft and industrial equipment.
The Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame is a part of the Reynolds Museum. It is an extensive collection of personal items and memorabilia related specifically to inducted Members. This includes such material as licenses, logbooks, uniforms, insignia, medals, trophies and awards, documents, correspondence, scrapbooks and photographs.
The museum is named after Mr. Stan Reynolds, a Wetaskiwin businessman and world-renowned collector. Mr. Reynolds donated a core collection of 1500 artifacts to the province of Alberta between 1982 and 1986.
The museum is open every day except Mondays from 10am-5pm. Admission is $6.50 Cdn. It is located off Highway 2 or 2A; one kilometre west of the city of Wetaskiwin on Highway 13 or east from Highway 2. The site is 30 minutes south east of Edmonton International Airport. Leave a Comment

Just southwest of the city's boundary is the Edmonton corn maze. Each year the pattern of the maze takes on a different theme...last year the maze was patterned after the Edmonton Oilers. The maze is divided into two sections, each with 8 numbered marker posts that you must negotiate during your attempt. Each section took me nearly an hour to find my way through.
The location: On Garden Valley Road, west of 199 Street. Leave a Comment

A ravine at the edge of downtown 82 St and Jasper Ave. that gives you the feeling you are in North Vancouver.Great walk which ends right at the N-Saskatchewan River. Leave a Comment

When my relatives visited from Germany this past summer, we took them to see the Reynolds - Alberta Museum. I'd heard of this place before. However, in my entire life living here, I'd NEVER visited it! It was SO MUCH FUN! There is SO much to see and many activities to take part in. We enjoyed it so much. There was also bread (and other baked goodies - cinnamin buns....) baked fresh throughout the day of our visit. There are children's activities and adult activities alike. While *TECHNICALLY* this probably belongs to a WETASKIWIN, Alberta site - I've NEVER actually been to Wetaskiwin (I think!). SO, as the location is close enough to Edmonton, you'll find the tip under my Edmonton page.
Please check it out! You will enjoy it. The history is amazing and the hands-on activities are worthwhile... and FUN!
There are many events taking place here throughout the year. For a calendar please follow THIS link!
