Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park

Last week my dad and I went to a new park. It’s a little over a year old, and it was the first time we’d visited it.

Just a couple minutes from the parking lot we came to a lookout with some amazing views.

It’s easy to understand why people settled here way back in the day. It’s such a pretty place.

Most of the paths were bike accessible, though there were a few where bikes weren’t allowed. I definitely want to come back and explore more of the park, especially the trails where I couldn’t take my bike.

There were lots of interpretive signs along the way to point interesting things out.

It’s pretty cool to think that even though the house that was once here is long gone, the fireplace still survives.

There were all kinds of browns and golds everywhere. I’d love to come back here at different times through the year to see how it changes. I bet it would be beautiful in the spring.

I rode my bike while my dad walked. The parking lot is at the top of a huge hill, and all the paths I saw lead down. By the time we started back to the car, I was tired but we still had to go back up the hill. I made it 3/4 of the way up before my legs felt like jello and I couldn’t pedal anymore, so I had to walk my bike up the last part. Next time I’m going to bike all the way up that hill!
