Grimshaw
You know that saying about good things coming in small packages? If the package were a town, that town would be Grimshaw.
This community has a fun surprise around every corner, from Almyra’s high-fashion boutique to amazing gift shops, a fantastic multi-purpose recreational centre, and locally-renowned butcher Johnny Sausage. As Mile Zero of the Mackenzie Highway, it’s a great jumping-off point for further adventures, whether it’s north to Yellowknife or day trips to local attractions like the Lac Cardinal Pioneer Village Museum, the Wilderness Park, or the golf courses within easy driving distance. Finish your adventure at The Junction Ice Cream Shop for the perfect topping on the gift you gave yourself.
“The start of your trip north to Yellowknife is Mile Marker Zero of the Mackenzie Highway. There is an attractive monument and historical plaque where you can get your picture taken before you head into the wilderness. There is a nearby park and trail and from the marker you can look south and west and see the Peace River Valley. A northern Alberta landmark not to be missed.”
