Featuring a walking trail and a creek, the Mill Creek Ravine Park in the Argyll neighbourhood is a slice of nature right in central Edmonton. You could almost make it look like you took a little road trip out of the city for the day, without even leaving.

With a burst of red, the trees in the Griesbach area are a fall leaf lover’s dream come true. It’s the perfect spot for a photo with maybe a lyric from Taylor Swift’s Red (Taylor’s Version) album, perhaps?
