Toss the costly car rides – the beauty of autumn is not a drive away (I mean, a river valley away). Here's a local's guide to some of the best spots in Edmonton to witness nature's breathtaking display:

1. North Saskatchewan River Valley:
This is an ideal place for any one interested in viewing the fall foliage as this is a large green area. The campground has more than 160 km of trails through the mature forest and during the autumn, they offer an unforgettable view of the colorful landscape.
It is also possible to have a nature walk on the beautiful pathways in Laurier Park, Dawson Park and Whitemud Park or bike riding on the trails.
Pro Tip: Visit the scenic platform close to the funicular station 100 Street for the view of the valley in the shades of autumn.
2. University of Alberta Campus:
Imagine this historical campus turning into a beautiful sight of fall. Take a walk around the Quad, which displays beautiful trees that have colored the scene with their bright red bricks.

3. Hermitage Park:
Located northeast of Edmonton, the Hermitage Park will give visitors picturesque scenery especially in the fall. Stroll around the ground taking walks alongside the many ponds and enjoy the reflections of beautiful colours on water.
4. Victoria Park:
A favourite for the locals, Victoria Park is not just about the park with beautiful gardens and flowers. Stroll down the paved paths outlined with trees and get a treat of different hues of fall.
