Perched at 2,310 metres on the Highwood Range, Hailstone Butte offers sweeping 360° views across the Rockies and Foothills. The active fire lookout sits above treeline and can be reached via a short but steep hike from Highway 532. Strong winds are common at the summit, but the panorama—from Plateau Mountain to the Livingstone Range—makes it one of southern Alberta’s most rewarding viewpoints.
