A scenic 20 minute drive West of Calgary on the Bow Valley Trail brings you to the delightful Town of Cochrane. Nestled in the heart of the river valley and framed by the Canadian Rockies, there's a feeling about this place that's hard to define - and even harded to forget. Cochrane hosts more than 75 creative, colourfull, quirky events and festivals, from Art Exhibitions to Rodeo. Come for the Outhouse races and stay for a scoop or 2 of MacKay's handcrafted ice cream, as you stroll historic Downtown. Learn about Cochranes western roots with a visit to the historic Cochrane Ranch. Visit the thriving farmers' market, then expole the natural and human history of the 136 acre park. Find the Grandfather Tree and climb the stairs to the Men of Vision statue overlooking the park.
