Day at Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump

Way back at an Alberta visitor center, we paid $2 for an official Alberta highway map, which included a coupon for buy 1, get 1 free admission to provincial attractions. This saved us $9 at HSIBJ.

We got there right when they opened about 10am, and spent about 4 hrs there, touring the center and watching the native dancers and singers. Some amazing “regalia”, which is what they want people to call their outfits. They're not costumes, since that's what clowns wear. Their regalia are decorated with thousands of beads.

The building itself is 5 or 6 stories depending on how you count, set into a hillside, with the higher  floors terraced back in to the hill. Very little of this large building shows from the outside, it really blends in with the surroundings.

We had bison stew at the cafe for lunch, and fried bread from a native food display. Good hikes around the grounds, with views across to the mountains at Waterton. We could also see our cg. 17C and windy at 2:30.
