'''Edmonton''' [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=edmonton&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=9&ll=53.566414,-113.502502&spn=0.745434,3.47168&iwloc=A] is the capital of [[Canada|Canadian]] province of [[Alberta]]. With an area of over 600 square kilometers, prepare yourself for some walking if can't get a lift out of the city. It is preferable to avoid hitching out of Edmonton during the winter months as temperatures can fall below -30° for many days at a time. This can be dangerous if you are not prepared for it. One would hope that drivers would be more willing to stop for a hitchhiker in the bitter cold, but don't assume this to be the case. Hitching outside of the city limits is perfectly legal, as far as [[User:Mikeeg555|I]] know. Hitching inside the city will save you some walking and you most likely won't have any problems with the police if you are not causing any danger. An Edmonton Transit System bus fare pays for a complete journey, including transfers for up to 90 minutes which should be enough to cross the whole city.

=== South towards [[Calgary]] ===

[[Alberta highways|Highway #2]] heads south as Calgary Trail (103/104th street), splitting '''Edmonton''' in half. A good spot to start hitching is just south of Ellerslie Road. Bus 49 from Heritage terminal will take you to Ellerslie road. From here it is approximately a 3 hour drive to [[Calgary]].
