Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site

Stroll along the banks of the North Saskatchewan River, one of the original ‘highways’ to the west. Follow in the footsteps of Indigenous Peoples, fur traders, and legendary explorer David Thompson. Experience the archaeological remains of four fur trade posts and seven kilometers of nature trails. Marvel at a bison herd. Stay awhile and experience a range of camping styles along the banks of the North Saskatchewan River: from Indigenous trapper tents and tipis to walk-in tenting and RV stalls. Visit the Métis camp, blacksmith forge/boathouse and fort sites. Learn a new trade or craft dating back to the fur trade era. See how Red River carts and York Boats were made. Roll up your sleeves to make your own drum, dream-catcher or traditional craft using quills, leather and textiles.

What a great little camprground! The sites were level and generously sized for our travel trailer, with sturdy picnic tables and very functional firepit. There are also prospector tents & teepees available to rent if you prefer that kind of experience.We had a view of the Bison field and were able to spot some bison in the evenings from the lookout at the campground. The washrooms and showers ample size and were cleaned several times per day. Showers were free with provided tokens. The firewood was reasonably priced, very dry and easy to split, too. The really cool thing is the proximity to the historic site...there is an interpretive trail that takes you right to the historic site with a return trail along the river. The interpretive displays are staffed by knowledgeable folks who enjoy telling about life in the days of the fur trade...you could watch a blacksmith making tools or try some freshly made campfire bannock. Great place to bring the kids for an afternoon of exploring and then retire to your camper for campfire & smores.

Siffleur Falls

Waterfalls, a canyon , the Siffleru River and the majestic Saskatchewan River are some of the joys of this accessible hike. The hike can be done year round and provides a wonderful perspective on the Kootenay Plans where the native Indians spent their winters due to the warm climate of the area. There are many other historical trails and excellent back country hiking in the vicinity.

This is by far our favourite hike in the Rocky Mountains, not too long, not too steep, but very scenic. It is located in the Kootenay Plains and has way less snow than Banff National Park, so it's perfect for early spring or fall. But we also went in summer one year. There are always a few people hiking, which is nice, doesn't feel too alone, but not crowded at all. Great views of the Siffleur River canyon with the river's bright blue colour

Crimson Lake Provincial Park

This park is located near the transition of three natural regions: Boreal Forest to the northeast, Foothills to the west, and Parkland a short distance to the east. Organic bogs and fens cover most of the central portion of the park while sand dunes and sand plains cover much of the rest. Black spruce bogs, tamarack-swamp birch fens and open sedge fens more typical of the Boreal Forest approach their southern limit within the park. Park visitors can enjoy a variety of outdoor experiences, abundant wildlife such as moose and deer, and the solitude of dense evergreen forests.

This lake was only a 5 minute drive from our cabin rental at Ride the Wind Ranch; so we stopped for a little walk along the sandy shore, which was very quiet in October. Next time we rent the cabin we'll plan to do the 10 km hike around the lake. The beach looked perfect for summer time bathing
