Rocky Mountain House

The landscape around Rocky Mountain House is a rolling transition between central Alberta parkland and the forested foothills of the Canadian Rockies, which has shaped both settlement patterns and the local economy. The town stands beside the North Saskatchewan River, while the Clearwater River joins it nearby. Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site preserves the location of fur-trade posts established in 1799, where the North West Company and Hudson’s Bay Company competed for trade with Indigenous peoples. Today, the town is a practical base for exploring Alberta’s river country and the routes leading west toward the mountains.
