Open air sculpture park/museum. A collection of monumental sculptures created on-site, from sandstone and marble by artists from around the globe. The collection is exhibited at the owners acreage in Bergen, near Sundre, AB.

The map on the Trip Advisor site does not give the correct location of this park. It is off Highway 760 between Bergen and Sundre. Turn west onto Township (TWP) Road 322. Drive about 2 minutes then turn south. There is a sign at this turnoff for Bergen Stones. Second right then proceed down the dirt road, past #10. Bergen Stone is #20. You’ll see the sculptures through the trees. Morton took time out from his work to show us the current sculptures on his land and told us about each artist, the stone used and the significance of each carving. Truly beautiful work. And it was nice to also be accompanied by his dog and cat as we wandered about. There is a steel box by the path near the house. Donations gladly accepted.

Great atmosphere of Canadian Rockies. It is an iconic street to get the unique feel of Rocky Mountains and Banff National park. Plenty to see, museums and souvenir shops, galleries with Inuit and gemstone art, sport equipment rentals, restaurants with international cuisine from Canadian and French to Mexican and Italian, bars, pubs, diners and Rocky chocolateries.

This huge, all made with brown bricks. This is the Government House Alberta. It is not used often. There is a balustrade. Sometimes the government comes here. There is a garden with it. Very attractive and many flowers. Worthwhile to see!

We go there for the great walking trails, river views and wildlife. Add to that it's a great place to hide and hunt rocks! Generally we go there once a week and have found most fellow visitors sensible during the pandemic!
7. Leitch Collieries Provincial Historic Site
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 50 reviews
Located off Highway #3 in the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass. Staffed May 15 to Labour Day – guided tours and education programs available. Stroll along walking paths through natural and historic beauty. The graceful ruins of the coal processing plant mingle with fragrant trees, flowers and grasses alongside a bubbling brook, with a spectacular Rocky Mountain backdrop. Leitch Collieries was one of the largest and most ambitious mines in the early history of the Crowsnest Pass. Established in 1907, it was the only coal company in the Crowsnest Pass that was completely Canadian owned and operated. Leitch Collieries was in operation until 1915. Visitors can tour the ruins of the coke ovens, washery, tipple, powerhouse and mine manager’s house. Storyboards and listening posts on site bring to life the events of yesterday. Picnic areas, washrooms (summer only), water (summer only) and a dog run enhance the stop for travelers.

This is a great place to get out of the car for a short walk to learn about local history. The area is very well maintained, the signage is informative, and when we went it wasn’t too busy so we were able to enjoy the area at our own pace. Worth a stop if you’re in the area!

This town site is extremely walkable with a good selection of shops, restaurants and fast food. If you have the time, you can rent bikes to get around or simply pick up a coffee and browse.

Definitely worth a quick stop if you are in the area. The gardens are beautiful and there are spots for photo opportunities. You can't go inside however, there is a waiting area with washrooms if you need them. Only ran into one person who was at the gates and offered to take a family picture for us.
