It’s better on a bike

I've always enjoyed driving the Wardner-Fort Steele Road in my truck, but recently, my husband and I took this route from Cranbrook, B.C., with our 1985 Honda V65 Magna and I discovered that it is way better on a bike.

Dunes day riding

Grande Prairie is a great place to be for anyone who loves quadding. A justifiably favourite ride in the area is the Wapiti River Valley dunes which offers great recreation opportunities to explore the trails.
