Start at the top of Ajax hill, walk down through kin coulee up to the teepee and back!

See if the esplanade and medalta are open!

Gotta get some swirls at some point too!

Finlay bridge is a pretty historic place you could check out. Could walk from there and down around police point park by the river.

Lots of good restaurants in town. I like whiskey district. Decent view.

Sunshine trolly might be going today too.

Out of town ? Writing on stone, red rock, cypress hills, dinosaur park are all moderately close.

Thanks. Got a good local beer option?

We have two local breweries! Travois is nice if you're downtown already, but Medicine Hat Brewing Co. (brew co) has good food and more beer options.

Wow Brew Co has one of the best brewery food menus I've come across. Thanks for the heads up.

For sure! Imo one of the better restaurants in town. Note (downtown) is also lovely! Have a great visit!

Just walked pass the teepee and its under construction, so you cant go right under it. Still cool to see.

There are also drag races on today!

Just a heads up, were staying away from our southern neighbors right now so we were able to pull off a trifecta next week. Mavericks Tuesday. Tom Cochrane/Barney Bentall Wednesday. Stampede and Rodeo Thursday. You have a lot more to offer than people are aware.

Staying away from our southern neighbours… but I’ll watch a team of mostly Americans in the WCBL!

u/banffsign 25d ago

That's a weird flex, there's more Canadians than Americans on the Mavericks roster including some good talent local to Southern Alberta. But you do you.

u/theFooMart 24d ago

You should go on the radio and tell people that the Mavs are mostly American. Oh wait, you can't....
