Make a day of it!
Fort Whoop-Up is just outside of downtown Lethbridge. You can spend the morning exploring downtown, then stroll down the footpaths from the Galt Museum & Archives to arrive at our back door. Or you can drive down the coulees and park in our lot.
You can also go on a lovely walk by the Oldman River right to the base of the High Level Bridge before heading back up the trails for a great active day!
