Positioned along the South Saskatchewan River, some 180 miles southeast of Calgary, right next to the town of Redcliff, is Medicine Hat, one of the largest cities in Alberta. Visitors come here to enjoy the carved hillsides and rolling prairies of the Saskatchewan River Valley. The city also boasts an excellent climate and multiple parks with engaging outdoor activities, which are ideal for motorhome camping, playing sports, and having a picnic.

The city's name originated from the Blackfoot word, saamis, which referred to the headdress worn by healers. According to a local legend, the Blackfoot Nation was plagued by famine one particularly harsh winter, so their council appointed a young man to be their savior. He set out to find food and brought his wife and wolf-dog along. He journeyed far to the sacred place of the water spirits, where he summoned a giant serpent spirit.

The serpent demanded his wife as a sacrifice, and the young man tried to trick the serpent by sacrificing his dog instead. The spirit saw through the deception, and the man reluctantly sacrificed his wife as the serpent asked. In exchange, he received a holy bonnet, or medicine hat, which ensured victory when tracking and hunting animals, thus resolving the plight that struck his village.

You can learn all about these legends and the diverse history of Medicine Hat on your vacation here. Camping in a motorhome rental in Medicine Hat is one of the best ways to experience everything the city has to offer.
