One thing the cashiers at the gas stations had in common –
they tried hard to push lottery tickets on us. I suppose that is
now a thing everywhere. Personally, I only bet on horses and
hockey.

If you made it this far, you might want to read about some other back-roads trips in Alberta:
A
Selection of Back-Road Trips Around Southwest Alberta
There are two main aspects to a road
trip: the journey and the destination. Sometimes the trip is all
about the journey, sometimes it’s all about the destination.
Usually it is a little of both.
This collection of back-roads
journeys feature a little bit of both of these aspects. Some accounts
are more about the ‘journey’, such as a road trip on scenic
Highway 22. Others are more about the ‘destination’, such as the
show-jumping at Spruce Meadows. I hope you will enjoy reading some of
these accounts and maybe give them a spin for yourself.
Southwest 1 – A Road Trip on Scenic
Highway 22
Southwest 2 – The Equestrian
Competitions at Spruce Meadows (Calgary)
Southwest 3 – The Bar U Ranch,
south of Long View
Southwest 4 – Kananaskis Country
Southwest 5 – Blackfoot Crossing
Southwest 6 – Back-roads, from the
Prairies to the Foothills: Brazeau Dam Trip
Southwest 7 – A Back-roads Trip to
Hinton and the Forestry Trunk Roads
The reader may wonder “what about
the Ice-fields Parkway?” or “where is a visit to Banff?” I
would answer, that these famous destinations are covered very nicely
by other books. This account is meant to focus on some less travelled
areas, thus the “back-roads” descriptor.
I should note that the other three
quadrants of Alberta also have a lot of interesting back-roads
journeys, but those are material for some other books which will be
published in due time.

A
Selection of Back-Road Trips Around Southeast Alberta
There are two main aspects to a road trip: the journey and the
destination. Sometimes the trip is all about the journey, sometimes
it’s all about the destination. Usually it is a little of both.
This collection of back-roads journeys feature a little bit of both
of these aspects. Some accounts are more about the ‘journey’,
such as Drumheller, via the Backroads of Central Alberta. Others are
more about the ‘destination’, such as the Viking Ribstones. The
collection even includes a train trip, on the historic Alberta
Prairie Railroad, which strictly speaking isn't a back-road trip but
rather a back rail-road trip. I hope you will enjoy reading some of
these accounts and maybe give them a spin for yourself.
Southeast 1 – Stettler Train Trip – Living History on the Alberta
Prairie Railway
Southeast 2 – Viking Rib Stones – Indigenous Heritage and
Tradition
Southeast 3 – Drumheller, via the Backroads of Central Alberta
Southeast 4 – Cypress Hills – An Island on the Prairie that
Escaped the Ice Age
Southeast 5 – On the Road with Bronco Billy, A Trucking Journal –
Southern Alberta Section
Southeast 6 – A Back-road Trip to Bittern Lake and Lake Miquelon
Provincial Park
Southeast 7 – A Back-roads Trip to Rochon Sands, Buffalo Lake
Provincial Park
The reader may wonder “what about the Tyrell Dinosaur Fossil
Museum?” or “where is a visit to the Calgary Stampede?” I would
answer, that these famous destinations are covered very nicely by
other books. This account is meant to focus on some less travelled
areas, thus the “back-roads” descriptor.
I should note that Southwest and Northern Alberta also have a lot of
interesting back-roads journeys, but that is material for some other
books. The southwest collection is available now on Amazon, the
northern excursions will be published in due course.
Just $1.99 on Amazon, or free if you have Kindle Unlimited. It is
also periodically on free promotion.
