The Royal Glenora Stairs are a staple in Edmonton's river valley and some of the most trafficked stairs in Edmonton. They're a popular with runners for their steep grade and beautiful views of the North Saskatchewan River. There are lots of other paths to explore along the valley and across the river.

This is a great walking, running, and cycling trail during the summer and makes a fantastic snowshoe or cross-country ski loop. There are plenty of great views and nature experiences for how close to the city you are. Most of the trail is well-maintained, but the route can be quite busy, so folks are reminded to cycle slowly, walk on the right side of the trail, and to enjoy the viewpoints.

This loop trail is easy to follow and mostly flat with one or two small hills. There is parking available at several lots nearby if this one is full. There are lots of little side trails to explore in the trees along the way! There are washrooms at Emily Murphy Park which are open throughout the day.

Queen Elizibeth Park is a favorite neighborhood spot for family picnics. It is also a gateway for bikers and joggers to access many of the other parks and trails in the area. Starting off in the huge parking area of Walterdale Park, you can quickly access Queen Elizibeth Park by passing under the Walterdale Bridge. As you make your way to the bridge, you will pass the Kinsmen Recreation Centre and the newly opened Queen Elizabeth Pool. You will also pass the Walterdale Museum and examples...

This looped walk is beautiful and it even offers a few opportunities to head off of the asphalt path and explore the areas along the shorelines and hills, with many staircases that will lead you from the Funicular to the Shumka Stage (Millennium Plaza) Louise McKinney Riverfront Park to the Tawatina Footbridge. You will not be disappointed with the views and the interaction of seeing others enjoying this beautiful city. To do the stairs and the hills make this a moderate loop, so feel free...
