With mountain and foothills views, beautiful provincial parks, and two National Historic Sites, the scenic Cowboy Trail (Highway 22) is made for exploring! Whether you visit for the day or the weekend, several friendly communities and attractions are waiting to welcome you. Here are the top stops on the Cowboy Trail from Rocky Mountain House to Lundbreck.
The kids are back in school and life is busy, but that’s even more reason to set aside a few days this fall to spend some quality time together as a family. Plan an adventure, head out on a scenic drive, or plan a final picnic on a sunny afternoon (bonus points if there’s a lake with a beach).

Spring is a wonderful time of year to visit Waterton, when wildflowers bloom, birds return, and baby animals roam the townsite and trails. As snow melts, prairie crocuses emerge, and rivers and waterfalls surge. For spring things to do in Waterton Lakes National Park, plan to visit from mid to late May onwards (it’s pretty snowy earlier in the season).
