Cochrane

Charming Town with a Western Spirit

Description

Located between Calgary and the spectacular national parks of the Canadian Rockies, Cochrane is a cattle town that is proud of its Western flavor and heritage. The charming shops and restaurants around Main Street certainly celebrate the Western ranching culture that makes the town distinctive, but there is also an artistic side to Cochrane that is evident in the numerous galleries around town. The town, with its sweeping views of the foothills and mountains and its location on the Bow River less than an hour from Banff, makes a convenient base for outdoor activities.
