The Foothills are the part of Central Alberta where the Rocky Mountains transition to the Great Plains. Running from northwest to southeast across much of Central Alberta, this region includes landscapes ranging from rugged in the west to gently rolling in the east. Despite being a rural and relatively undeveloped region, it is easily accessible from Alberta's three largest cities: Edmonton to the northeast, Red Deer to the east, and Calgary to the south.
