Black Diamond Travel Guide
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for Black Diamond, Alberta.
Welcome to Black Diamond!
The Town of Black Diamond, Alberta is located 52 km (32 mi) southwest of Calgary in the majestic foothills of the Rocky Mountains. A variety of outdoor attractions beckon visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the area, including the Friendship Trail, which links the community to its sister town, Turner Valley. History buffs will enjoy learning about the rich and colourful history of oil exploration and development in the area at the Turner Valley Gas Plant, just outside town. This region of Canada is known for its unpredictable weather, given the proximity to the Rocky Mountains. Often in the dead of a brutal winter, Chinook winds blow through the Foothills, driving the thermometer upwards and providing much needed relief. In the spring and fall, local ranchers may be seen driving their cattle along the scenic roads, modern evidence of the area's rich agricultural heritage. Flyfishers will enjoy the pristine beauty of the Sheep River nearby, while aquatic buffs may enjoy the facilities at the Dr. Lander Memorial Pool. For those seeking modern culture, the Terra Cotta Gallery carries an eclectic mix of artists, and a variety of quaint restaurants and shops may be found on the main street.Tour Operators
