South East Hill This east facing viewpoint is a wonderful central location within the heart of Medicine Hat, showcasing views of Saamis Tepee, Seven Persons Creek, Ross Creek Coulee, and the CP Railway Station in the River Flats.

Ross Creek Coulee This native grassland area gives you views of endless coulees while you walk or bike the lengthy trails. This open space views the CP Railway mainline, where you can often spot long trains traveling through the prairies.

Saamis Tepee When exploring, you will see a coulee dip that features Seven Persons Creek, native grasslands, wildflowers, and paved paths. Follow these pathways from

the top of the coulee and immerse yourself in nature rich in Indigenous history.

Scenic Views Project Scenic Views is a partnership between the Society of Grasslands Naturalists, the City of Medicine Hat, Alberta Ecotrust Foundation, and Tourism Medicine Hat. The Scenic Views map and locations are available at: grasslands-naturalists.org. While exploring the Scenic Views, you can relish in the beauty and fresh air, reminding yourself that as long as you take care of our environment, it will be here for you to enjoy.

Ways you can be a sustainable explorer: • Leave no trash by properly disposing of items in the garbage or recycling bins. Consider bringing a trash bag with you to help clean up along the way. Bags for pet waste are also important when keeping natural areas clean and smelling fresh. This also prevents attracting wild animals like coyotes. • Keep nature healthy by staying on designated trails to minimize disturbances and soil erosion, which causes the establishment and spread of invasive weeds and lost biodiversity.
