The Crowsnest Pass area has played an important and fascinating role in Alberta's history. The hazardous coal mining and logging operations, the whiskey smuggling, and the houses of ill-repute that made up the Crowsnest's illustrious but celebrated past have given way to legitimate businesses including a variety of shops and several excellent resaurants that offer a diverse selection of mouthwatering menus. Check the website for a complete list of regularly scheduled entertainment and sporting events in the community.

Crowsnest Pass is a premier destination for enthusiasts of world-class fly fishing, snowmobiling, skiing/boarding, golfing, ATVing, caving, rock climbing, mountain biking, horse-back riding and other exhilarating outdoor recreational pursuits. For those who enjoy the outdoors but aren't adrenaline addicts there are hundreds of miles of hiking trails to explore with captivating lookout sites, wildlife abound, an impressive selection of rocks and minerals, and Kodak moments at every turn. There are also hundreds of geocache sites in the Crowsnest area for modern-day treasure hunters armed with a GPS device to discover. 

Exciting day-trip adventures to some of our planet's most treasured historical sites such as the UNESCO recognized Waterton National Park and Head-Smashed-in-Buffalo-Jump Heritage Centres are both within an hour drive. The town of Nanton with it's impressive collection of antique shops and the town of Cardston with the award-winning Remington Carriage Museum and the striking Cardston Alberta LDS Temple are also approximately an hour drive from the Pass.  

Of course no vacation is complete without time-out to relax and a comfortable place to sleep and eat. At the Little House in The Pass and Gingerbread Cottage we offer the weary adventurer a clean, peaceful, private, and restful place to kickback, enjoy a meal, watch some tv, read a book, or just enjoy a refreshing drink while watching the sunset ignite the warm glow on the face of Turtle Mountain.
