High River

High River sits on the Highwood River in southern Alberta, where the Canadian Prairies meet the rolling country before the Rocky Mountain foothills. The town is closely tied to ranching, agriculture and the river that gives it its name; its centre combines everyday services with independent shops and community venues. High River is also known internationally as a filming location for the long-running Canadian drama Heartland, whose fictional Hudson has used streets and businesses here. The devastating Alberta floods of 2013 marked a defining chapter in local life and spurred major flood-mitigation work along the river.
