The Red Coat Trail is a 1300 km route that approximates the path taken in 1874 by the North West Mounted Police in their quest to bring law and order to the Canadian West.

[edit] Highways

A number of highways in southern Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta roughly follow the original route. In Saskatchewan, Highway 13 is designated as Red Coat Trail, while in Alberta, the name is shared by Highway 61 and Highway 4.
