Nordegg, Alberta
If you haven't been to Nordegg, Alberta and you enjoy the outdoors, it might be time to check it out.
I was there in February of 2007 for a wedding. You head straight west of Red Deer on Highway #11 for an hour and a half. You'll go through Rocky Mountain House about half way, so stop and grab a bite or anything else you might need, because Nordegg itself doesn't really have a whole lot to choose from.
You'll notice after Rocky Mountain House that the foothills start getting larger and you can see a few mountains in the distance. The fences start to disappear as well as the area becomes less and less inhabited. If you see horses and they're not behind a fence, then you have probably spotted some of their wild horses in the area.
Where I Stayed
The wedding guests all stayed at the GoldEye Centre, which is about 10 minutes further west of Nordegg on Highway #11. The rooms are really cheap because it doubles as a summer camp facility. You can get your own room in one of the many long cabins on the property. There are televisions in the common areas for each room as well.
There was brunch served in the mornings as well. You'll want to phone ahead if you plan on staying here, because there are many summer camps and conferences that happen here and it might be booked.
Personally, this is camping country, so grab look for some campgrounds in the area and pack your tent.
What To Do
There is more hiking than you could want to do. For those of you who want to fish, hike, or just relax on a lake then you can do it here. I understand there is plenty of of cross-country skiing and ice fishing if you want to.
There is a local lounge/restaurant right when you enter Nordegg plus convenience and liquor stores.
