Drumheller Nordic Walking & Wellness

09/20/2026

🍂 I love when we get to explore somewhere new — just like we did on Thursday at the Nature Conservancy site at Horseshoe Canyon. The fall colors are starting to show, the air was calm, and the whole place felt almost magical.✨We only encountered one other person the entire time, which made the quiet even more special.💕

👩‍👩‍🏫We even learned a new word — geomorphology — and spotted what we think were rills. And honestly, I can’t remember the last time I heard so many “Oh wow’s” in one outing.

Our BBS didn’t disappoint either: not one, but two desserts… a small sampling of mock coconut pie made with spaghetti squash (served with homemade vanilla ice cream🍦!) and our usual piece of dark chocolate🍫. Thanks, Wanda!

And I can't forget the wildlife.🐍See the video for more on that.

At Drumheller Nordic Walking and Wellness, we believe in caring for your whole body — movement, learning, connection, and joy. That’s why we offer a variety of classes for every body and every pace.

Which one will you try? Call 403‑823‑0156 to get started.

You don’t have to go fast… you just have to go. 🌿

⛅The skies cleared (well… partially), the threat of rain drifted away, and some of us Nordic walkers loaded up our poles and headed out to the Michichi Creek Reservoir this past week.🚐It’s always such a peaceful, calming place to wander — the kind of walk that settles your shoulders and quiets your mind.🪷

🦆The waterfowl were few and far between, but we still spotted some Canada geese, what looked like a blue heron in the distance, and a little loon diving for its supper. The chokecherries🫐were in abundance, but getting to them would have been quite a feat.😳We wrapped up the evening with our Brown Bag Suppers🥗before heading home, content and refreshed.

Where will your poles take you?

🌿 “Where do you walk?”
It’s one of the questions I get asked most often when chatting about our Outdoor Walking and Wellness classes👣and people are always surprised by the answer… everywhere!😲

☀During the warmer months, we love to venture a little farther from Drumheller proper — even outside the Valley — with our Brown Bag Suppers. We’ve explored Rosebud, Dorothy, Orkney, Michichi and so many more beautiful spots.👀

❄️When the colder months roll in, we stay closer to home with walks through Midland, Newcastle, Nacmine, and yes… even the Drumheller Municipal Cemetery. You read that right. It’s peaceful, quiet, and full of history.📜

And of course, sometimes the weather has other plans — like it did on Friday🌧. But that’s okay. We still enjoyed gorgeous fall colors in the leaves🍂and the flowers🌼that are somehow still hanging on.

Come explore our backyard with us.
Call Drumheller Nordic Walking and Wellness at 403‑823‑0156 to get started today.
