Darin’s 4 Favourite Spots for Landscape Photography
Posted on : Wednesday, May 29, 2019

Anyone with a passion for photography or an appreciation for the outdoors will love these beautiful
spots in and around Medicine Hat.
As you wind through the trails, through the old cottonwood trees, you can listen to birds singing all
around you. Eventually, you’ll make it to some beautiful open views, where you can see both the river, and the cliffs.
Unique would be the right word to describe Red Rock Coulee. Where else can you find a field full of
giant red boulders? The high vantage point allows you to gaze south across a broad flat
plain and you can easily see the triple-peaks of the Sweetgrass Hills far to the south.
Pro Tip: Watch out for slithering friends, who hide out from the sun under the boulders.
Redcliff Clay Pits
The clay pits are a little taste of the traditional ideal of badlands, right in our backyard. They also offer
views of the river valley for a great mix of both moonscape and lush green all in one view.
Strathcona Island Park has great vistas along the riverside, as well as close access to beautiful,
winding trails, which will connect you to the nearby Medalta Potteries.
Pro Tip: Make your way towards the river at sunset for a beautiful view.
