Out in the oil patch is definitely off the beaten path! Much of the oil and gas exploration in Alberta is based in Edmonton. This is a view of Refinery Row on the east side of Edmonton on 17th street, with a field of blooming canola in the foreground. The huge Petro-Canada refinery is on the right and the Strathcona refinery is on the left. Downtown is more or less in the centre. Both are undergoing massive upgrades to meet the refining capacity needed for the oil coming from Fort McMurray's oilsands projects. Alberta currently produces more than 2.7 million barrels of crude per day.

Rural Alberta: The Edmonton Corn Maze
|
Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet] |

Just southwest of the city's boundary is the Edmonton corn maze. Each year the pattern of the maze takes on a different theme...last year the maze was patterned after the Edmonton Oilers. The maze is divided into two sections, each with 8 numbered marker posts that you must negotiate during your attempt. Each section took me nearly an hour to find my way through. The location: On Garden Valley Road, west of 199 Street.
