Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump.

On our way to Southern Alberta we passed this interesting piece of native history. Many years ago and year after year the Blackfoots yearly organised a big Buffalo hunt! When the weather was perfect and Mother Earth's Heartbeat had the right rhythm, the hunters chased the herd bottleneck-wise to a very steep cliff. Thousands of Buffalos found death in the northeast of Porcupine Hills. One brave hunter thought he had the best view from the bottom of the cliff...he never saw the giant bull coming, Head-Smashed-In!

Years later, a tremendous amount of bison skeletons and skulls where found at this site. Unfortunately, the Buffalos are gone, and so are the natives...Thurber came, saw and conquered!

Up to Waterton Lakes NP, nature calls: Mountains, blue lakes, awesome hikes and Grizzly Bears here we come!

So long
