The Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area (ASCCA) is a 4,800 acre day use natural area.  It is located just south west of the city of Calgary in Alberta, Canada. The Cross Conservation Area is dedicated to:

• protecting habitat and providing space for native species of wildlife
• offering conservation education programs (particularly to youth) without jeopardizing wildlife and habitat
• managing human use of the area through a series of guidelines*

*Please book your hike in advance if you are planning to visit with a group larger than 8. Groups of 15 or more will recieve a booking confirmation. If there are multiple large groups booked on the same day, we may ask you to reschedule. Please contact us if you have any questions prior to your visit.
