Hard to believe it’s nearly August — anyone else feel like they blinked and summer was suddenly half gone? Although a rainy July may have put a damper on outdoor activities, that doesn’t mean you can’t make the most out of the weather we’re getting.
August and September are ideal months to enjoy a romantic getaway. The weather is as reliable as it can get in Alberta, with an earlier-setting sun promising change on the horizon. Take it all in, hand-in-hand with your partner, at one of these dreamy locations.
This all-inclusive experience puts the “glam” back in glamping. When you stay in a canvas tent or geo-dome at 350 Farms, you’ll be greeted with Prosecco and chocolate-covered strawberries on arrival, and will have full access to 151 acres of untouched boreal forest. You’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a fairy tale.
