Highway 570 is considered part of the shortest route between Calgary and Saskatoon, with some digital map platforms recommending using it along with Highway 564 and Highway 848 through Alberta, as opposed Highway 9 which is part of Canada's National Highway System.[4] In spite a difference of approximately 25 km (15 mi) and bypassing the Drumheller townsite, the route is sparsely populated with no services.
