Glenmore Reservoir
The shimmering water of Glenmore Reservoir (5R7, 7305 Crowchild Trail SW) will not disappoint. It is always a beautiful spot for quiet reflection. In the autumn, the reflection of the fall foliage off of the water is almost too much beauty to handle. A 19-minute drive from Trinity Hills.
Nose Hill Park

Fish Creek Provincial Park
It's easy to forget you're in the city when you stroll through Fish Creek Provincial Park (15979 Bow Bottom Trail SE). This dense forest of mostly birch trees shimmers with golden leaves and grass. Explore it all along the paved paths -- perfect for walking or biking.
Larch Valley
Serious foliage fanatics are more than willing to take an hour-long drive to experience some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet. Head out to the Banff National Park area. It is never more stunning than when the leaves are changing. If you are up for a challenging 10.9-kilometre hike through stunning scenery, Larch Valley is an experience you may never forget. The Larch tree is the only member of the evergreen family whose needles change colour to brilliant gold and drop to the ground.
