A new 109km rail trail, the Rocky to Nordegg Rail Trail, is opening up a previously inaccessible region of Canada. This route follows the path of the historic Canadian Northern Railway (CNoR), which was vital for transporting coal and serving settlers in the early 1910s.

This historical railway line once served as a critical artery for western Canada before the advent of modern highways.
