One of the best places to watch the sunset near our hometown of Edmonton, Alberta, is Elk Island National Park. We recently made the half hour drive, on a beautiful fall evening, specifically to watch the sunset. It sure did not disappoint!

One lucky couple scored the coveted spot at the end of the dock, while the rest of us stood on the beach and watched the vibrant colours fade into dusk.
