Begin your journey at the Grande Cache Tourism Centre, where the staff provides tailored recommendations, local insights, and all the resources you need to make the most of your visit. For a deeper connection to the land, visit the Mountain Métis Hide-A-Way Camp, nestled near the stunning Pierre Gray Lakes Recreation Area, just 34 km south-east of Grande Cache along Highway 40. With cozy cabins, a fully equipped lodge, and outdoor amenities, Hide-A-Way Camp offers an unforgettable gateway to Alberta’s rugged frontier.
Our operators include horseback guides, outfitters, and backcountry lodges, many with deep ties to the area, who share the untold stories of Canada’s westward expansion. From fur trade routes to ancient trails, historic cabins, and cultural landmarks, every experience highlights the enduring legacy of the Rockies. Whether you want to journey deep into the wilderness on a pack horse expedition or explore trails closer to town, there’s an adventure for everyone.
The Grande Cache Chamber of Commerce ensures seamless connections to local businesses, services, and events to complement your experience.
Adding to this rich history is the Willmore Wilderness Foundation, which has conducted extensive research over the past 35 years into the history of Alberta’s eastern slopes. This invaluable data is shared through print materials, books, documentaries, and as a resource for researchers and the public eager to learn more about this fascinating region of the Rockies. The Foundation also promotes historical storytelling and education, offering a deeper understanding of the unique history, culture and traditions that shaped the area.
