Heart of Cowboy Country!

by Camping_Girl - last update: Sep 4, 2006

Beautiful tree-lined street
Nanton is in the heart of cowboy country. There are lots of agricultural-based activities here, as well as some eclectic shops, a ton of antique stores, the Lancaster air museum, and a handful of really good restaurants.

While I don't golf, the 18-hole golf course is very popular, with people travelling out from Calgary to golf here regularly.

The Nanton nite rodeo is held every Friday evening in July and August. Many well-known professional rodeo participants have got their start at the Nanton Nite Rodeo.
