 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.
Deer, pronghorns (antelope) and other wildlife freely roam in the area surrounding Foremost. The village is located 110 km (68 mi.) east of Lethbridge on the Red Coat Trail and 102 km (63 mi.) south-west of Medicine Hat. Home to the Buffalo Slope Elevator (only two exist in the world) and the Vernon Wildlife Viewing Centre, nearby viewing of buffalo and ostriches is also available (by appointment). Other recreational activities include swimming, boating, fishing, camping and golfing.
