View of Forested hills west of Cochrane

Waiparous is in the middle of the Rocky Mountains Forest Preserve, which extends south to the US border. West of the town are numerous provincial campgrounds along the Forestry Trunk Road, highway 40/940 which continues northward to Grand Prairie.

The area is popular with 4-wheel-drivers, campers, and even has a paintball range. Recent police enforcement has made the area more appropriate for peaceful enjoyment of nature, rather than rowdy partying and off-road driving.
