Sparwood is the Southern Gateway to British Columbia. Whiskey Jack is easily reached by motorists coming from Alberta and BC. It is approximately 2-1/2 hours drive from Calgary down the Cowboy Trail and about 1 hour from Cranbrook and the Canadian Rockies International Airport.
Whiskey Jack is a family-friendly mountain community located in
the heart of the Elk Valley. Enjoy a four-season recreational lifestyle
that includes world-class skiing, fishing, hiking and hunting or just exploring
the outdoors. The resort is surrounded by some of the most spectacular
scenery in North America. Examples of nature’s splendor ranges from Alpenglow
on the snow-capped peaks to a lush pallet of wildflowers that color the Elk
Valley in the Spring.
