Hello World! We are the Gophers of Torrington, Alberta, Canada!

Planning a vacation to beautiful Alberta? Well, you are starting at the right place! Every year since 1996 when we set up permanent residence at 208 1 Street South, thousands of tourists have stopped by Torrington annually to marvel at the things us gophers can do. Take a look through our site and you’ll see what we mean.

Our “Dioramas” page features a slide show of our favorite activities, some of which you may not have seen before. We gophers are a resilient species and are constantly adapting to new conditions and learning new skills.

The “Gopher Friends” section of our website is where we give a shout-out to some of our favorite visitors who thought enough about their trip to Torrington to document their experiences on their own blogs and websites. These are very enlightened humans indeed, so we’ve provided links to their sites so that you can read their points of view.

We will be adding further content to the site soon, so don’t be a stranger!

Thanks ever so much for visiting us online, and we extend our invitation to come and see us right here in Torrington, Alberta! In fact, here’s a little nugget of information to sweeten the offer…you will want to consider staying a few extra days here in Western Canada!

Beyond us gophers, you might also enjoy Banff National Park and Jasper National Park…the Rocky Mountains to our west are breathtaking! Meanwhile, Calgary is a world-class city and home of the world-famous Calgary Stampede. Further north, the capital city Edmonton is surely worth a visit, as is that giant Ukrainian Easter Egg (Pysanka) in Vegreville! There is no shortage of great attractions in our beautiful and fascinating province!

Best regards,

The Gophers
