[[Prairies 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]].
=== East, West towards toward [[Saskatoon]], [[SaskatchewanJasper]] ======== West =====
[[Prairies highways|Highway #16]] crosses Edmonton's north end as the Yellowhead Trail. Heading west it is 4 hours to [[Jasper|Jasper National Park]]. Bus 126 from Westmount terminal will take you to 184 st. Walk north from there a few hundred meters to the Yellowhead. It may be a bit tricky to hitch there but there is an on-ramp.
Your best bet is probably to try hitchhiking from the truck stop on the south side of the junction between Hwy 60 (Devonian Way) and Hwy 16, although it is still 5-6 km from the outskirts of the city. It also has a good on-ramp.
===== East toward [[Saskatchewan]] ===== 
The best spot for going east is right beside the Rundle Golf Club. Type this into google earth, (edmonton, rundle golf club) and you'll see the ramp just north of it. Take the number 8? Or whatever bus it is that gets you to Abbotsfield station and walk back 100 meters across the street, by the lights and you'll see the sign that says 'Victoria Trail and Trans Canada', take the trans Canada.
