“Smelling the ground and seeing these grasslands brings back so many memories of life on the farm. I never thought I would be able to smell these lands again…”
– Bruce, senior living facility golf cart tour participant
Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park contains some of the last remaining foothills fescue grassland as well as a scattered mosaic of wetlands and wooded areas. This diverse habitat provides home to a wide variety of bird species. Unfortunately, many of the best birding locations are far from the parking lot. Join GRPF Conservation Program Coordinator Blake Weis and Steward Annie Finch to visit the best locations on a golf cart tour of up to four hours where we’ll cover nearly 20 km of trail.
Discover the wild beauty of Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park — where rolling foothills, whispering fescue grasslands, sparkling wetlands, and hidden wooded groves come together in one spectacular natural mosaic! 🌾🦆
The only catch? The best birding hotspots are often a bit of a trek.
That’s where the adventure gets even better! Hop aboard one of our birding golf cart tours and glide comfortably through the park’s most rewarding locations.
More birds. More beauty. More fun. 🚐✨
There is no age restriction for this tour, but it is only recommended for children who are specifically interested in birds and bird watching. All children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult on every tour.
