A bit of a drive but the landscape is amazing and it is a fun time picking out pictographs and petroglyphs on the rock faces. Take water, it gets hot in the hoodoos! Fun for kids to climb around too.

The oldest running theatre in Canada! They offer movies as well as live performances. They have love-seats for those looking to get cozy during a performance. As about the local ghost while you're there too!

A great way to learn some First Nations history, a very well done museum, beautiful views from the trail along the top of the jump! Can be a bit windy up there though!
