Stop 10 — St. Paul, Alberta 🤠🛸

St. Paul has a way of welcoming everyone — even those from outer space.

(I'm counting down 25 towns in 2025 until New Year's Eve as I head to my final town)

I came for the Lakeland Finals Rodeo, a huge community event that brought the whole town together for a weekend of classic western fun. But there’s so much more to this place. The local museum dives deep into the area’s diverse roots, from Métis and French settlers to a really impressive Ukrainian exhibit that caught me off guard with how detailed it was.

And then there’s the town’s famous UFO landing pad — yes, you can literally stand where they invite extraterrestrial visitors to touch down. It’s a perfect symbol of how open and welcoming St. Paul is, blending rich history with a sense of humor and a big heart.

It’s a town that knows its past and looks to the stars, all at once.

... Read moreSt. Paul, Alberta offers much more than just a stopoff on a road trip; it’s a vibrant community that embraces both its rich cultural past and a quirky, fun future that sparks curiosity and warmth in visitors. One of the standout annual events drawing visitors and locals alike to St. Paul is the Lakeland Finals Rodeo. This celebration highlights the enduring cowboy spirit of the region, featuring thrilling rodeo competitions that bring the entire community together. Beyond the rodeo, the town’s cultural roots run deep. The local museum does an exceptional job showcasing the diverse background of the area’s inhabitants, from the early Métis and French settlers who shaped the region to the well-curated Ukrainian exhibits that reveal stories of migration, resilience, and heritage. Perhaps what sets St. Paul apart most captivatingly is its famous UFO landing pad. Far from simply a tourist gimmick, the landing pad represents the town’s openness and sense of humor. It invites visitors—both earthly and extraterrestrial—to experience a welcoming spirit that is rare and genuine. Standing on the landing pad, one can feel the community’s optimism and imagination, symbolizing a town that honors its historical roots while gazing ambitiously toward the stars. For travelers and explorers, St. Paul offers an authentic experience where every corner has a story, and every event connects you deeper to the land and its people. Whether you come to see the rodeo, explore history, or ponder the mysteries of the universe from the UFO landing pad, this town warmly welcomes you with a blend of tradition, culture, and whimsy that leaves a lasting impression. Planning a visit during the rodeo season or exploring the local museum can provide meaningful insights into Alberta’s cultural mosaic. Plus, don’t miss the chance to snap a photo at the UFO landing pad—a symbol of the unique character that sets St. Paul apart from any other place you might find on your travels.

Documentary on the Heart of Alberta
Hey Alberta. I need $1 from you. Not joking. I traveled about 10,000 miles and filmed 25 of our small towns in 2025. From Cardston to Wainwright to Grimshaw, I’ve seen the soul of this province. And here’s the hard truth: Rural Alberta is being ignored. #ruralalberta #kickstarter #s

Stop #24 — Devon, Alberta
25 towns. 25 stories. Each day until New Year’s Eve, I’m sharing a stop from the Backroads Alberta road trip — and you'll have to see where we end up on December 31st. Devon gave us power and contrast — a strongman competition fueled by sheer grit and a community built on oilfield heritage.
