Buffalo Jump...

This morning, we crossed the Canadian border with no issues. We encountered a friendly Border Service Agent and sailed through with no wait. The coaches reassembled at the Milk River Information Center where the two young ladies at the desk were a fount of information about the doings in Alberta. 









We elected to start at the Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. This is an amazing world heritage site that chronicles the lives of the buffalo hunting plains tribes and the North American Bison.

The museum tells the story of the plains people before western expansion and after. Along with the story of the buffalo, brought to the brink of extinction by that very same expansion. A must see if you ever get up this way.






I don't know if you can see it, but the dark shapes on the carpet are bison.
