The river pushes the city into light as riders lean forward and glide along the North Saskatchewan’s lip — the current below almost daring you to pause. This two-hour Segway circuit launches from Louise McKinney Riverfront Park and threads the Trans Canada Trail, climbing about 200 feet up from the river valley to the city’s downtown rim. By dusk the skyline edges into contrast: Rogers Place, the Ice District, the neon sign museum and the classical sweep of the Alberta Legislature come into sharper relief.
