This stunning Alberta destination will be FREE to explore this summer & here’s when

Wild Rose Country is an incredible place and there’s nothing like the Rocky Mountains – especially when the weather cooperates.

Hoping to hit the dusty trail, go for a paddle, have a picnic, or birdwatch this summer? You’re in luck because Kananaskis Country in Alberta will be FREE to visit on select days this season.

Due to the park’s popularity, adventure seekers are usually required to purchase a Kananaskis Conservation Pass for $15 a day or $90 a year – but there are a few exceptions.
