Experiencing the filming locations of southern Alberta reveals why this corner of the province has held television audiences for nearly two decades. The scenery needs no digital embellishment. The golden light that floods Foothills County in late afternoon is genuine, the mountain walls are massive, and the ranching communities maintain deep ties to their western heritage.
