Medicine Hat

We only spent two nights in Medicine Hat but found it to be a nice city to visit, partly because it is covered with biking trails. This city was established on the Alberta River so many of the trails bordered the river.

A very unique feature of Medicine Hat are the sculpted brick murals around town. James Marshall was commissioned by nuns at the Catholic Church to do a series on the Stations of the Cross.  From there he created several more murals for the city and has now done over 300 all over Canada.  One mural depicted the city recovering from a catastrophic flood in 1995.
