Red Rock Coulee

This area contains large red spherical sandstone concretions that have eroded out of the softer bedrock, the best example of spheroid rock formations in Alberta. Concretions measure up to 2.5 metres across and are believed to be among the largest in the world.

There are eroded steep-sided coulees and a small upland of fescue-needle grass. In places, hoodoos (columns of bedrock) have formed.

St Patrick’s Church

Medicine Hat’s most prominent landmark is St. Patrick’s Church constructed in 1912-14.

The church with its 170-foot gothic tower is said to be one of the finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture in all of North America. Its design was inspired by the medieval cathedrals in Europe.

Echodale Regional Park

It is an oasis for people and wildlife and has more than 110,000 visitors each year.

From the historic farm site on the west side of the park to the day-use area on the far east side of the park and all the other areas in between, the pristine condition of Echo Dale Regional Park is a favourite.
