As another person commented; you don’t want to miss Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump. The history, culture, and lifestyle of the Blackfoot people is covered in this fascinating building, which is built in increasing levels into the side of the rocks leading up to the precipice of the jump. It’s very impressive because it is operated almost wholly by local indigenous people. The pride the young people take in their dancing brings a tear to the eye. To understand the significance of the millions of Bison which comprised every aspect of indigenous livelihood and culture, and which roamed the prairies and were wantonly slaughtered for game by the encroaching Europeans, is another reason for tears. Despite it all, this place is a beacon for hope.

Could have done a long detailed Skit on Cypress Hills like the Kananaskis one, they aren't just hills there are many Small Mountains and large hills that go above 750metres and a huge 12km wide by 50km long Forest that just pops out of the badlands like Red Rock which is just 15 minutes away from the Park, the Cypress Hills are like Southern Alberta's and Saskatchewan's own little Appalachian Region. The City of Medicine Hat is also way more beautiful and full of Coulees and hills stretch out the Mid-Size City of about 85,000 ppl including RedCliff and Dunmore over an area that's the size of a more Urbanized Mid-Sized City like Lethbridge&Coaldale (a total of about 105,000) but coaldale is 10km outside of Lethbridge and many Businesses have been built in a couple new Industrial Parks between Coaldale and Lethbridge that ended up doing very good and a new Street Light Crossing was built on the Highway 3 Turnoff to the rapidly expanding Broxburn Industrial Park, which makes Coaldale and Lethbridge 5km apart once they move the City Sign and I'm Sure they will. The Indian Battle Park River Coulee trails that seperate East and West Lethbridge are beautiful parks and trails, however I prefer Medicine Hat as you get Coulees and Hills and the best City/Nature walking trails between EVERY neighborhood. It's paradise and 30 mins to Cypress and Red Rock. However my favorite Mid Size Urban City is Red Deer (125,000) and it has a vibrant DT.

Just an update on Rattlesnakes in A'isinai'pi/ Writing-on-Stone. I have seen some in the park but more often on the south side of the Milk River in the Coulees. There used to be signs on the local roads warning drivers about Rattlesnakes and asking not to run over them. Sadly, this past June I found one just outside the park that had its tail and rattle crushed by some car or truck. If it was inside the park, the staff would have done something for the poor thing. As it was...

I used to live in Inverness Forest, TX. That might be why I screwed that up.

Well done! I would correct you on a couple of references in your Kananaskis section: 1) HighWOOD Pass - not HighLAND - is the correct name for that part of Highway 40 that traverses the highest paved roadway in Canada. Also, not sure what you're referencing when describing HighLAND Trail. Maybe HighWOOD Meadows Trail w/ Boardwalk? All these Day Use areas are busy during peak season and there has been considerable construction adding more parking spaces. 2) Upper and Lower Lakes are Day Use areas within Peter Lougheed Provincial Park - not parks unto their own. 3) Kananaskis Country (KC) is not a 'Park'. It's a multi-use area that hosts a number of Provincial Parks, Wildland Parks, Natural Areas, Logging and Gas venues, Off-road venues, Hunting, an Olympic Downhill venue and a World-Class Golf Course. I believe this is called symantics but it's an important distinction where conservation is concerned. Some people don't understand the distinction but it's akin to the differences between the differences of Banff National Park and the industries and venues in the Town of Banff and other industries located within the park boundries. Thank You.
