This enchanting Alberta boardwalk is surrounded by trees, mountains & wildlife

Where are you getting your next dose of fresh air? With the sun in the sky, consider checking out the Policeman’s Creek Boardwalk in Canmore, Alberta.

Located in one of the most beautiful places in the province, this 3.9-kilometre route is surrounded by towering trees and mountain views.

An area that is home to elk, deer, ducks, butterflies, and frogs, nature lovers are encouraged to keep an eye out for the resident critters, bugs and birds.

In addition, you’ll also pass a coal-mine-inspired pedestrian bridge, the Rundle Mountain range, the Canmore Opera House which is a replica of the original built in 1868 and ever-changing wetlands.

Sound like a good place to get your steps in?

If you’d like to go for a beautiful walk this sunny season, make your way to the Big Head sculpture downtown. Just across the street, you’ll find the boardwalk and trailhead.

According to Explore Canmore, this particular trail is good for all skill levels, but if you’re looking for something with a little more ‘gumption’, you can switch to the ambitious town trail system.

No matter what you’re in for a scenic adventure.

Happy travelling, have fun and take photos! You never know for sure what you’ll see along the way!
