On the way to Waterton....

Driving in eastern Alberta along Highway 3
took us through many farms and small farm 
towns- another very pleasant drive. We took a slight detour at For Macleod to go to the Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump historical site.










 The story of the buffalo jump and the history of the Blackfoot was fascinating .  This jump was named for a young brave who didn't get away from the stampede of buffalo in time and went over the cliff with them.



The jump

Excellent museum telling the history

The plains

We camped in a small town named Cardston
Now on our way to Waterton Lakes National Park.
