Since 2022 we have been publishing adventure idea in Brazeau County, Drayton Valley and the surrounding communities. These are rugged, self directed adventures that are only one hour west of Stony Plain, Spruce Grove and Edmonton. In each of these magazines you will discover not only where you can recreate but how to also become a part of the volunteer communities that maintain these amazing facilities, as well as how to use the facilities safely. Our neck of the woods is not curated for you, it is rugged, it is fun and it is full of adventure. This is a unique area of Alberta that speaks to the heart of the Alberta tourist.
