The Cowboy Trail, also known as Highway 22, has to be the most scenic drive in Alberta. Drivers are treated to mountains, rolling foothills, ranch land; wonderful wide open spaces. I never tire of the landscape views along that highway. There's always something new to take in.

I decided to look up some information on a ranch that is located along that stretch of pavement. The Waldron Ranch goes on for miles and miles so it peaked my curiosity.

What a great conservation story behind the name. It is the largest area in Alberta where wild grasses grow and the ranchers belonging to the co-op are ensuring that the land remains that way.
