Provincial highways in Alberta
Alberta Provincial Highway No. 22, commonly referred to as Highway 22 and officially named Cowboy Trail, is a north-south highway in Alberta, Canada. It generally follows the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, passing through ranch country.
Highway 22 starts at the Crowsnest Highway (Highway 3) between Pincher Creek and the Crowsnest Pass. It then goes north through Longview, Black Diamond, Turner Valley, and Millarville. The highway then jogs west at Highway 22X. About 30 km (19 mi) later, it turns north again and passes through the Hamlet of Bragg Creek where Highway 22X ends. Highway 22 continues north past the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) west of Calgary, north through the Town of Cochrane, the Hamlet of Cochrane Lake, and the Village of Cremona to Highway 27.
