Exshaw, Alberta is a small hamlet of about 350 people. Located 45 minutes driving time from Calgary city limits, Exshaw is located on the north side in the eastern portion of the Bow River valley. The community is now outside the Banff National Park boundary another 30 minutes west up the valley; however, the original park entrance was actually only a couple miles east of Exshaw.

East of Exshaw are smaller company town villages of Kananaskis and Seebe. A small ranch area, now mainly dude ranches, is also near the community. A number of smaller parks with camping facilities have also developed in the east Bow Valley. Directly across the Bow River south from Exshaw is the recreational community of Lac Des Arcs. Heart Mountain is also to the south. About 15 minutes west further up the valley is the community of Canmore.

Chinook Country, as a region, borders British Columbia and Montana, and extends north to Calgary city limits, following the Bow River east and including Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park.
