Drumheller

138 km (83 mi) from Calgary, this town was named after Sam Drumheller, an American entrepreneur who began the area’s first coal-mining operation in 1911. With a population of 6,500 Drumheller offers motels, campsites, restaurants and attractions.
Be sure to see the dinosaurs at the world renowned Royal Tyrell Museum.

Waterton

Established in 1895, the park joined with Montana’s Glacier National Park in 1931 to form the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. It is one of the most untouched areas in the province, ranging from prairie terrain to mountain wilderness. Enjoy hiking, fishing, horseback riding, golf and in the winter, cross-country skiing. A variety of accommodations are available at the townsite.

Fort Macleod

Founded in 1874 with the arrival of the North West Mounted Police. Today, this town’s core is a Provincial Historic Area, with more than 30 vintage buildings, mostly dating from 1897 to 1914.
Northwest of town is Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump Interpretive Centre which tells the story of the buffalo-hunting culture of the Aboriginal people.

Medicine Hat

Located 63km north of Cypress Hills Provincial Park, this is one of Canada’s sunniest cities, with more than 1,440 hours of sunshine each year. The city’s fortune rose at the start of the century when an abundance of natural gas was discovered. Today Medicine Hat is a community of 47,000 people.
Take the self-guided Historical Walking Tour to several turn-of-the-century buildings. Visit the Medicine Hat Museum and Art Gallery, and go and see the World's Tallest Tepee.
