Stop 17 — Nanton, Alberta 🚗⏳
For years, Nanton was just a pit stop for me.
Fuel up. Bathroom break. A quick drink of that famously good water. Then back on the road.
This time, I slowed down — and I’m really glad I did.
I stayed for the parade, spent time inside the incredible Bomber Command Museum, got a behind-the-scenes look at the grain elevator, and of course… stopped at the Nanton Candy Store.
Turns out, Nanton isn’t a place you pass through.
It’s a place you experience.
