Address: 8704 Millwoods Rd NW, Edmonton, AB, T6K 3J3
WHERE:
- Nordegg, AB
WHAT: Hiking Coral Creek Canyon trail then Whitegoat Falls trails
- Coral Creek Canyon trail has a moderate rating with some incline and rocky terrain so bring good footwear. It is a shorter 8.9km hike (roughly 4-5 hours) so we can afford to take our time and go at our pace. There are stunning views along the way to stop and take lots of pictures! https://www.alltrails.com/trail/canada/alberta/coral-creek-canyon-trail
- If time permits and we’re feeling up to it we can drive a short distance up the road and do this shorter hike to a waterfall
- Whitegoat Falls trail has an easy rating with a nice and short 2.8km hike (roughly 1.5 hours) to a beautiful waterfall. https://www.10adventures.com/hikes/david-thompson-country/white-goat-falls-trail
