Default things to do in Lethbridge

Hi,

We'll be in Lethbridge for a couple of days in August, does anyone have any suggestions for things to do or see in the area, it'll be me, my wife and 2 daughters aged 11 & 13.

Thanks in advance

But seriously, check out Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. Canada has ancient history too.


Also the Frank Slide - not to much farther down the road - more recent history.

They aren't in Lethbridge but aren't far from it.

Drive down to Writing on Stone park. It's really, really cool and not that many people go there. Take swimsuits for the Milk River (you may be able go to tubing on it if there's someplace that rents them nearby), but wear high boots when walking around the Hoodoos - rattlesnakes like it there too.
