Alberta Parks inside Glenbow Ranch Provincial Parkwhat to expect
One of the newest members of the Alberta Parks’ family, Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park is less than an hour drive northwest of Calgary along the Bow River. A day use park, Glenbow Ranch is a great destination for a picnic, where there are over 28 km of pathways. The park is still a working ranch and the Visitor Centre has exhibits that describe the history of the lands where the park has been established. The park is a partnership between the Glenbow Ranch Foundation and Alberta Parks. Please check the website for hours of operation before you go.
