It is surrounded by the majestic Purcell and the Rocky Mountains and is near the beautiful Banff. If you love to ride, you will enjoy saddling up and riding in this picturesque setting. Your route will take you along green forests and open spaces and you may have a chance to see some unique animals too. You can then hike to Thompson Falls for a spectacular view and have lunch here.
