West Country is one of Travel Alberta's 13 regions. Travel Alberta names Abraham Lake, the Painted Warriors Indigenous Outdoor Experience and Rockies Heli Canada among its attractions. It publishes neither a list of municipalities nor a boundary map: the trail grouping on this page is our own, based on trail coordinates.
Trails in the region include Crescent Falls, Ram Falls Provincial Park, Crimson Lake, Goldeye Lake, Peppers Lake and Limestone Mountain, around Rocky Mountain House.
