And I have really enjoyed seeing and learning a bit about Canada.<br /><br />I have heard of the Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. I imagine the Visitor's Center was filled with dioramas and info on the local area and Native Peoples. The dioramas pictured are awe-inspiring.<br /><br />The area with the wind farm looks a lot like the eastern plains of Colorado.<br /><br />Wow! is all I can say in regards to the Frank Slide area. The sheer force of Nature never ceases to amaze me. After more than 100 years and the area is still quite evident. Beautiful shot from the top!<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this adventure with us!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15918915129013117664noreply@blogger.com
