 Nestled on a mountain plateau just 214 km from Jasper National Park, Grande Cache is famous for their sparkling lakes, rivers, green valleys and mountain peeks. The Bighorn Highway 40 provides a paved corridor connecting Hinton, Alberta with Mile Zero of the Alaskan Highway at Dawson Creek, British Columbia. This is the shortest, most scenic route to Alaska from the United States.Grande Cache is the gateway to Willmore Wilderness Park, known for their hiking trails, alpine flowers, big game and many waterways. There are no motorized vehicles allowed in this park to preserve nature, but hiking and horseback riding keep visitors from all over the world wanting to return.
Off the beaten track, Picture Butte is located in the heart of the largest concentration of livestock in Canada. This small but vibrant Southern Alberta town is home to the Prairie Acres Museum. The Picture Butte Reservoir offers delightful walking trails, benches, nesting sites for geese and home to numerous birds. An annual threshing show and parade is held the third weekend in August.
