WELCOME to the Crowsnest Pass. The five communities of Bellevue, Hillcrest, Frank, Blairmore and Coleman were amalgamated into one municipality in 1979. I know that you’ll enjoy the benefits of the Crowsnest Pass as much as we do. Outdoor enthusiasts will find and abundance of recreational possibilities from camping, mountain biking, hiking, world class fishing, hunting, boating, wind surfing, golf and tennis in the summer to cross country skiing, downhill skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, snowshoeing, curling, skating and hockey in the winter. Look for the annual spring date for the world class indoor pro rodeo hosted by the Kananaskis Rodeo Association. Our annual Crowsnest Pass Rum Runners Celebrations topped off with the spectacular Thunder in the Valley fireworks display takes place the 3^rd weekend each July.

Minutes from the residential and business sector is unspoiled wilderness. Wildlife abounds including Grizzly and Black Bears, Moose, Steller Jays, Eagles, Hawks and Mountain Blue Birds. Most of the wilderness is located in the Bow-Crow Forest. This crown land is supervised by the Alberta Forest Service and has many camp and picnic sites and trails. There is a charge for campsite use and fire regulations are strictly enforced. Access is by good gravel roads.

Culture, music and the arts are thriving in the Crowsnest Pass. The annual Spring Music Festival dates back to 1926. With over 300 entrants, the week long festival concludes with a concert featuring the top performers. The Crowsnest Pass Symphony Orchestra was organized in the 1920’s and was one of the first amateur symphony orchestra’s in Canada. The Orchestra performs concerts 3 – 4 times a year.
