Super cozy coffee shop. The lattes were delicious and the breakfast sandwich I had was delicious. I like that it’s kind of dark and located in the basement level away from the traffic of Jasper Ave. The service was interesting - I feel like I got attitude and felt uncomfortable interacting with every single person there, from the girl who took our order at the till, to the one who brought us our food and the one who picked up our dishes. Must have been an off day?!

We came on the right day when the tide was low and we could explore more. Such a peaceful spot with nice areas to walk. The area is absolutely gorgeous and quieter than others in the Victoria area.

Although the climb will kill you, the view it SO worth it! This is hands down my favourite trail in Edmonton for that reason entirely. I highly recommend viewing it during all seasons to fully take in nature’s beauty.
Aside from the gorgeous view, the stair case is huge therefore if you want a great workout, wolf willow is your best friend. There are certain “sections” of the staircase that are steeper than others so you can take it easier or do the full death work out.
Also, if you are out of shape like me (Lol) you can always take a break as there are landings throughout the walk up.
Another thing to add with the beauty aspect is that the rocks leading into the creek right by the bridge at the bottom of the staircase, completely reminds me of being in the mountains. I feel like I am not in Edmonton at all!
