Where to explore wintery snowshoeing trails in Edmonton

The snow has packed itself in for the season, which can only mean one thing: it’s snowshoeing time.

Snowshoeing is one of the best and most practical ways to travel on deep snow, which, frankly, is quite common in Edmonton. It’s the perfect outdoor activity for the Alberta winter, especially for those wanting to get some fresh air. It’s a popular activity in the city and out, and we understand why.
