More about Lori’s NEW book:

Calgary’s Best Walks

Bestselling Alberta author Lori Beattie is back with much expanded 3rd edition of her hugely successful compendium of Calgary’s Best Walks. Taking walkers beyond Calgary, this edition has 95 walks and tasty pit stops including 50 NEW WALKS that lead walkers throughout Calgary’s parks and neighbourhoods, west to Cochrane, and south to Leighton Art Centre and Brown Lowery Provincial Park, with a section on the Kananaskis and Canmore.

Lori’s book celebrates self-propelled exploring in all its glory. Step out on the walks to connect to neighbours and the city, to discover big nature, views and wildflife; to go for coffee with friends or grab a bite and a beer; to see new neighbourhoods, public art, little libraries, shops and to feel a part of this place. Walk to start noticing the details, to dishabituate, and shake up your routine and to see the behind the scenes Calgary that eludes us when driving on Glenmore, Deerfoot and Crowchild. Slow the pace and soak up the diversity and beauty in Calgary. Become a tourist in your own city- let’s walk!
