If you head out early, you can start with a breakfast at the famous Chuckwagon Cafe in Turner Valley. If you're rolling in a bit later, then pull up to Motoburrito, a fun Mexican-style food truck in this cool little town known for it's food.
Just down the road, you can walk your breakfast/lunch off with a stroll through Black Diamond. Offering an eclectic shopping experience, art galleries, a brewery, and a collection of historical plaques you'll find on most buildings you visit.
When departing Bar U Ranch you can choose one of two routes to get to our next destination. It's a shorter ride across highway 540, however the extra 15 minutes down and across highway 533 offers some pretty nice views and riding.
No matter how you get to Nanton, your next stop is The Bomber Command Museum.
Honouring those who served with Bomber Command during WWII, you can arrange a guided tour or walk through the museum at your own pace. You'll learn about the people and planes of Bomber Command through the incredible collection of artifacts, archives, videos, simulators, and interpretive displays.
Be sure to check their website for guided tours or features that need to be booked ahead of time. You don't want to miss out!
From the museum, you can either stay in Nanton for a bite or if you're not quite there yet - hit the road north to High River and stop at The Hitchin Post before making your way home.
