Album: Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is located about a two hour drive south of Calgary, at the edge of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. It has the best interpretive centre I have ever seen. Indians drove herds of buffalo over the top of the cliff to their deaths on the rocks below, to harvest their meat and hides.

Album: Calgary's Glenbow Museum

Album: Fort Calgary
Fort Calgary dates from the earliest days of the North West Mounted Police (now the Royal Canadian Mounted Police) who built the fort in the 1870s.

The fort has a great story and tells it well...on what appears to be a very small budget.
