    Tips

    October 26, 2025

    Named after the Scottish settlers who once climbed this ridge to watch early Stampede events, Scotsman’s Hill remains one of Calgary’s most famous viewpoints. From here, you can see the Stampede Grounds, the Saddledome, and the downtown skyline framed by the Elbow River valley. The short climb leads to a panoramic lookout that’s especially striking at sunrise or during the Calgary Stampede, when fireworks light up the city below.

      From here, you have a magnificent view of the skyline, which is definitely worth a look. Further to the left, there's also a view of the Calgary Stampede. The direct route to and from the Dome was blocked, but there was a small detour.
