Kids’ Club: Winter 2017

By AMA Staff

MAKE TRACKS
Elk Island National Park has some of the province’s most scenic trails—just a half-hour drive from Edmonton. Strap on your snowshoes or cross-country skis and set out on one of the serene, snow-covered paths, like the family-friendly, 3.5-kilometre Beaver Pond and Lakeview trails at the park’s north end. And keep your eyes peeled: The wintry landscape offers ample opportunity to spot elk, moose and even bison (though remember to keep a safe distance). Buy a Parks Canada Discovery Pass at any AMA centre for easy entry into national parks: Members save $10 on a family pass.
