This magnificent viaduct was erected just over 100 years ago. Once in a while, a local philanthropist has arranged to illuminate it at night. Eerily, the black paint changes to silver! The bridge is exactly one mile (1.62 kilometres) long. It is best observed from below, in Indian Battle Park, where there is ample parking.

Peace, tranquillity and friendship await you at the Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden. The gem of Southern Alberta is celebrating it's 50th year with cultural activities and the very best omotenashi (hospitality) every day. Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden season officially begins Saturday May 13th and the season runs to Sunday October 8th. Enjoy the Lethbridge Japanese Garden from the first spring blossom to the final autumn leaf.
During the internment of Japanese Canadians during the second world war, Lethbridge Alberta was considered a 'safe' place to confine them over 70 years ago. When the war ended, and many had no other homes to return to, they stayed in Lethbridge and a thriving Japanese community was built in this Southern Alberta city. The Nikka Yoko Japanese Gardens are a beautiful example of the artistry of what a Japanese Garden could be. A balance of trees, shrubs, arrangements of rocks, pagoda's, quiet sitting area's situated to 'hear' the babbling brook, a giant bell that when rung is pleasantly relaxing as opposed to jarring...this is a beautiful showcase of Japanese artistry. Worth the 2 hours spent there.
