Alberta Provincial Highway No. 6 is a north-south highway in southern Alberta, Canada. It spans approximately 74 km (46 mi) from Alberta's border with Montana to the Crowsnest Highway (Highway 3). ^[1]^[2]

Looking south from northern terminus

Montana Highway 17 in Glacier National Park becomes Alberta Highway 6 in Waterton Lakes National Park as it crosses the Canada–United States border at Chief Mountain. Generally travelling in a north direction from Chief Mountain, the highway provides access to the Hamlet of Waterton Park via Highway 5, and passes through the Hamlet of Twin Butte and the Town of Pincher Creek. Highway 6 then ends at Highway 3 north of Pincher Creek.^[2]^[3]
