The snow is melting, pathways are clearing off, and it’s time to get those bikes tuned up and out of storage for the coming season. Below are some of my family’s favorite trails and places to explore on bikes each spring as we transition from skis to wheels.
What could be a more fun and delicious way to spend an afternoon than at a local farmers’ market? Fresh produce, local butchers, artisanal cheese, chocolatiers, fresh baking, handicrafts, entertainment, and delicious hot-and-ready lunch options to enjoy while you take a break to relax your feet. And don’t forget the food samples! There is something for everyone, and it is an affordable form of family entertainment to enjoy year-round (while checking off some items from the grocery list at the same time). Looking for somewhere to take out-of-town guests? Farmers’ markets are a wonderful idea.

Here are some of our favorite activities to do outdoors and indoors this fall around Calgary.
