Alberta Provincial Highway No. 68, commonly referred to as Highway 68 and officially named Sibbald Creek Trail, is a highway in central Alberta, Canada, west of Calgary. In the west, Highway 68 begins at its intersection with Highway 40 and ends at Highway 1 (Trans-Canada Highway) approximately 17 km (11 mi) west of Highway 22 (Cowboy Trail). The road is paved for the final 11.5 km (7.1 mi) to Highway 1. All other sections are gravel. It provides access to hiking, horseback riding and hunting areas, Sibbald Lake Campground, private ranching operations and gas fields in the area. Through travellers can use it as an alternative route to Kananaskis Country.[1][2]
