Macleod Trail (Pass by)

It might feel like a busy road now, but Macleod Trail has stories buried beneath the asphalt. Ever wonder where the wagons once rolled? We’ll show you.

Okotoks Erratic - The Big Rock (Pass by)

How did a giant boulder end up in the middle of the prairie? No, it wasn’t aliens—but the real storey is just as wild.

Diamond Valley (Pass by)

What happens when two creative towns merge into one? A quirky, scenic community full of art, history, and more personality than you'd expect.

Don’t let the weathered exterior fool you—this local watering hole has more heart and history than meets the eye. Inside, it’s all stories, spirits, and small-town soul.

No crowds, no cell signal—just pure wilderness. If you’re lucky, the wind might whisper a few of its secrets while you’re here.

Little Chicago - Royalties Monument (Pass by)

There’s a deeper storey to this roadside sculpture—and we’re not just talking about oil.

Longview (Pass by)

It may be small, but Longview packs big flavour and even bigger views. Oh, and if you catch a breeze? That’s just the mountains saying hello.

High River (Pass by)

Tidy streets, classic charm, and a river that remembers every flood. Take your time—there’s more beneath the surface here than you’d expect.

Mount Head (Pass by)

With a name like this, you'd expect drama—and it delivers. This mountain’s rugged ridges and bold profile have a few stories carved in stone.

Bar U Ranch National Historic Site (Pass by)

Step onto this historic spread and you’re stepping into Canada’s cowboy legacy. From cattle kings to quiet trail rides—it all happened here.

Mount Burke (Pass by)

A steep hike, an abandoned fire lookout, and views that’ll leave you breathless—literally. Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through the storey.

Chain Lakes Provincial Park (Pass by)

Whether you're casting a line or just stretching your legs, this peaceful park offers more than a postcard view. Stay a while—there’s serenity in the stillness.

Plateau Mountain (Pass by)

Flat on top, fierce around the edges—Plateau Mountain (which you'll see from a distance) is full of contrasts. The wind may be loud, but the land has its own quiet wisdom.

Mount Livingstone (Pass by)

This peak you can spot on the horizon doesn’t just rise—it commands. From its slopes, you can almost see where the prairie ends and the adventure begins.

Mount Speke (Pass by)

It may not make the cover of every hiking guide, but Mount Speke (which you'll see from a distance) holds its own with rugged charm and a view worth the detour.

Livingstone Falls Recreation Area (Pass by)

What looks like wide open space is anything but empty. Stick with us—we’ll show you how this land whispers of bison, grass, and time itself.

Old Man River (Pass by)

The Oldman has carved stories into the land for thousands of years. Follow its path, and you’ll feel the pulse of southern Alberta.

Livingstone Range (Pass by)

Stretching across the horizon like a stone backbone, this range marks where the mountains mean business. Every ridge has its own storey.

Centre Peak (Pass by)

True to its name, this peak stands proud in the middle of it all. It’s a landmark for wanderers, weather-watchers, and anyone looking skyward.

Crowsnest Pass (Pass by)

Part mountain corridor, part living museum—Crowsnest Pass has seen avalanches, miners, and more than a few mysteries. We’ll let you in on a few.

Lundbreck Falls (Pass by)

No need to hike to find this showstopper—it’s right off the highway. But don’t just pass by… the thunder, mist, and canyon views are worth the pause.
