North Saskatchewan River Valley

Edmonton has the longest stretch of connected urban parkland in North America. The river valley, and it's connected ravines, are full of history and beauty. Personally, my favorite is Mill Creek Ravine thanks in part to the fact a railway used to run through it. 
I can't say I've ever seen anything as nice as the river valley in Fall as the leafs change colour.
