Centuries ago, two indigenous communities fought fiercely for this piece of natural beauty, and of course you can agree that it’s worthy of a fight. They later made peace that has lasted to this day, and you can guess that the park is not only beautiful but equally peaceful.
Welcome to the Indian Battle Park in Lethbridge, Alberta!
This weekend, on Diversity Travel, we will take you to the spectacular Indian Battle Park in the lovely city of Lethbridge. The park is home to a Canadian National Historic Site, Fort Whoop-Up, the beautiful Helen Schuler Nature Centre, one of Lethbridge’s premier attractions described as a place where people and nature meet, and the eye-catchy High Level Bridge, the longest and highest steel trestle bridge in North America, just a stone throw from downtown Lethbridge.
Lethbridge is the fourth Albertan city to cross 100K inhabitants. Its position close to the Canadian Rocky Mountains contributes to the city’s warm summers, mild winters, and windy climate. It’s no surprise that these photos were taken in April, when most of Alberta was still covered with snow, but shows no glimpse of the white stuff.
More people are likely to say “hi” to you on the streets of Lethbridge than in any other Albertan city. It’s closer to the US border than to Calgary, and boast of the only university in Southern Alberta.
With well developed trails, stairs for a gentle climb to the top of the hill, a gentle flowing Oldman River, a beautiful park with games for children, a great bright Lethbridge weather that warms up earlier than most of Alberta, and many other attractions, you can hardly go wrong that little little trip.
Say hello Lethbridge….say hello to Southern Alberta!
