After experiencing the Frank slide Centre, we drove a short distance to this moving and informative monument that provides a small glimpse into our past history of mining and it's deadly risks.

We did the play & stay at the new Crowsnest Pass G.C., staying at the Blairmore Hotel. Had a wonderful stay, the course was awesome and the hotel was clean, convenient, and very comfortable. Highly recommend this overall.

Some great cross-county ski venues are quite a drive from anywhere, not here. We appreciated the highway sign, but then had to figure out a little which road to take, as we didn't notice further explicit "cross-country ski" signs. They have a good grooming and track-setting operation, and appear to be able to host a variety of related events. We enjoyed our visit very much. There was some figuring out to do related the many on-site maps (excellent they have so many!), as some links on the map didn't seem to be there. The website is helpful, but you need a good memory to figure out which trails are not maintained because they allow dog-walking. And some of the trails we thought, from the website, would have been track-set weren't, but there were still lots that were. All-in-all, a great place, and kudos to Coleman for having such a high quality facility!
4. Leitch Collieries Provincial Historic Site
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 50 reviews
Located off Highway #3 in the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass. Staffed May 15 to Labour Day – guided tours and education programs available. Stroll along walking paths through natural and historic beauty. The graceful ruins of the coal processing plant mingle with fragrant trees, flowers and grasses alongside a bubbling brook, with a spectacular Rocky Mountain backdrop. Leitch Collieries was one of the largest and most ambitious mines in the early history of the Crowsnest Pass. Established in 1907, it was the only coal company in the Crowsnest Pass that was completely Canadian owned and operated. Leitch Collieries was in operation until 1915. Visitors can tour the ruins of the coke ovens, washery, tipple, powerhouse and mine manager’s house. Storyboards and listening posts on site bring to life the events of yesterday. Picnic areas, washrooms (summer only), water (summer only) and a dog run enhance the stop for travelers.

This is a great place to get out of the car for a short walk to learn about local history. The area is very well maintained, the signage is informative, and when we went it wasn’t too busy so we were able to enjoy the area at our own pace. Worth a stop if you’re in the area!

For all asking where this is, if one googles Flumerfelt Park in Coleman it’ll take you right there. We quite enjoyed ourselves on the hike up to the falls. Was a great hike for our little family (kids all under age 8) and just a lovely outing overall.
