EDMONTON
The first stop
The first stop
Elk Island, Elk Island National Park, Edmonton
The legislature building! The main attraction and lot history and free tours!
The Centennial Flame, commemorates 100 years of confederacy. To me, it proudly presents the province's connection to the oil industry.
The skyline! For some reason always felt smaller than Vancouver, although it's bigger in population.
Most of Edmonton seemed flat, but the city is built on banks of North Saskatchewan River, so there are a lot of stairs. This funicular was unique. Never been on one!
When visiting there was a multi-day street performers festival. I was surprised to see a performer all the way across from Australia, specially knowing that they only made money from donations!
The palm trees at the Legislature building. The guide said they don't know how they got there, but internet says otherwise.

Since it is Alberta, the prejudiced me assumed there would be less bike tracks. Although not very well
mapped
out, there was a lot of bike paths and trail(The image was taken moments before I ended up with a million
stairs). Overall, it was still pleasant to bike at. There are a lot of trails/paths that go between two
houses, away from the major roads. These were my favorite.
Just 50 kilometers from downtown, this is simply the best part of Edmonton
The American Bison
The drive
Bike path on the side of Astotin Lake
