About Lethbridge

What to know before you book

Lethbridge is southern Alberta's largest city, sitting above the dramatic Oldman River valley with its spectacular coulees. It's home to the University of Lethbridge (architecturally stunning Arthur Erickson building cantilevered over the coulee), the iconic High Level Bridge (the longest and highest railway trestle bridge in Canada), and Fort Whoop-Up (a reconstructed whisky trading post).

The Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden (one of North America's finest authentic Japanese gardens) reflects Lethbridge's Japanese-Canadian heritage — many Japanese Canadians were relocated to southern Alberta during WWII internment. Waterton Lakes National Park is 1 hour southwest.
