Endless Places for Exploring
Alberta has two great booming cities and between them runs the Queen Elizabeth II highway (QEII) with many opportunities for exploring. There are a few must-see stops along the way, for your RV road trip from Calgary to Edmonton.
Must-See Stops:
Drumheller

The Rockies

Outside the Oil Industry
Leduc is 35kms away from Edmonton. The city encourages people to get up and move. They do this by providing 60 kms of paved trailed for walking, running or biking. The city of Leduc has also built a large recreation centre. This centre provides 3 skating rings, an aquatic centre, a fitness facility and a curling rink.
