The museum curator was a pure delight as she brought to life a range of thoroughly researched stories about pioneers past and present and the town's development. It was clear she cared deeply about telling the stories with honesty and empathy for the local community. As a result, we came away from this visit full of information and enthusiasm for Hinton, it's past and it's future. We look forward to following her progress with future museum developments and would readily return in future to see them for ourselves.

Switzer Park is a year round adventure playground that really flies under the radar. Best known for Jarvis lake and it’s campgrounds under official Provincial Government operation, it might be even better known by locals for the outdoor recreation opportunities offered by volunteer groups. Winter provides a truly world class cross country ski area at the Nordic Centre which catches and retains snow more effectively than other centres in the Province. Really challenging terrain with easy options for beginners offer sometimes for everyone (classic and skate). There is also a fun little toboggan hill. Please support the volunteer operations with donations/memberships, positive feedback or by writing letters of support to the Province. Summer hosts access to incredible mountain bike trails. Pedal into Joachim Valley and the new cabin for the easiest family adventure (still remain bear aware and prepared for mud and adverse weather conditions). The more advanced blue/black diamond bike trails reside in/out of the Park, namely the Froehler Coaster system. Check the trails out on the trailforks app. Otherwise, explore the wildflowers and strawberries along the Nordic trails, paddle Jarvis creek, hike the Athabasca Tower lookout trail and try some non-service camping at Graveyard Lake. When in doubt, ask a local for advice and reach out to bikehinton dot com and hintonnordic dot ca. Remember, write those letters of support!
