River Trail's Tops

Share

Who says we have to sit inside like a bunch of sad sacks for 4 months every year? Last Sunday, my husband and I decided to peel our hibernating butts off the couch and head outside for some good ol' fashioned Canadian winter fun.

We found ourselves at the River Trail at The Forks. The hubby brought along his skates and I rented a pair from the Mini Donut Shop (naturally!) for a mere $4, only $2 for the kiddies. We laced up and were gliding down the frozen river in no time.

You can skate, walk, run or snow shoe down the trail any day of the week. If you go this year you'll catch The Warming Hut: An Art + Architecture Exposition on Ice, featuring stunning huts designed by prominent artists and architects. Check out some of the photos I took of the huts below.

After, we warmed up with a tasty mate latte from the Human Bean and finished off a lovely wintery afternoon with warm cinnamon buns from Tall Grass Prairie.
