Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park

March 29, 2013 by Glenn 14 Comments

Landscape in the park is reminiscent of the Canadian Shield to the east or the mountains in the distance to the west and south – evergreen trees, rustic rock outcroppings, gurgling streams and cool waters. It’s a sharp contrast and a welcome respite from the relentless open skies of the prairies south of Medicine Hat, Alberta.

Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park is the only park in Canada to traverse a provincial border. The arbitrary nature of the border becomes obvious to me when I consider the big cats, including cougar, that wander around up here. In fact, come to think of it, when I consider those cats, I’m reminded of the fragility of life itself, and I double check the distance between me and my car.
