Highway 7 begins in the Town of Diamond Valley, which was created on January 1, 2023 with the merger of the towns of Black Diamond and Turner Valley.[3] The highway continues east, passing along the southern boundary of the Town of Okotoks. East of Okotoks, the highway ends at Highway 2 north of the Hamlet of Aldersyde, and is succeeded by Highway 547.[1][2][4]
Highway 7 originally continued south from Black Diamond to Longview, but the section was renumbered replaced by Highway 22 in the early 1970s.[5][6]
