Hwy 22 is west of Pincher Creek. We've traveled it many times on our way north from the Waterton National Park area, usually to Rocky Mountain House and then west from there. It's a very good highway with towns along the way. You will be driving through the foothills of the Rockies. If you go up to Lethbridge from the Coots/Sweetgrass border crossing, you could visit Fort MacLeod's Museum and/or Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump on the way to highway 22. There are other ways to get to 22 without going through Lethbridge. Look for the junction of Hwy 4 & 501 just north of the border crossing. You can go west on 501 to #2 hwy,north through Cardston to #5 where you go west and go past the Waterton National Park gate. You might want to go in for a visit. You'll be right beside the mountains. Hwy #5 changes to #6 Hwy & goes north to Pincher Creek where you catch Hwy #3 west to #22 Hwy. The roads are very good and they are hilly and yes we've driven on them. Good luck on your choice and have fun.
