Great fall colours right in the middle of the City. The North Saskatchewan river valley is fantastic. As North America's largest urban park system it's a fantastic amenity.

A little hometown plug here, and the last photo I took of my city. Although the viewpoint known as the "End of the World", is now technically off-limits, many locals regularly ignore the no-tresspass signs - at risk of not only a steep fine, but also the steep drop.

Once a retaining wall for a long-ago closed road, it's one of the most beautiful locations in Edmonton to view the changing colours of the river valley in the autumn. While I cannot actually suggest you go here, it's probably the worst-kept "secret" in town.

The room was not spotless. Walls in the bathroom were dirty, and pictures and fixtures in the bathroom were covered in dust. The first night we had stains on the sheets and comforter of the bed. The bed was very comfortable but an upgrade is definitely needed for the hotel
