Our first trip to Canada visiting family and we had a ride out to this place. Full of interesting history about Native American's and their way of life, and how they hunter Buffalo.
What really made it awesome was speaking to Little Leaf who answered some other questions and gave us some interesting facts filling in some of the gaps. Such a lovely person. All I can say is that if the staff asks you if you have any questions then please do ask, as they are so proud to tell you more about their ancestors and culture.
The views are also fantastic and we could see the mountains. Absolutely stunning.
Thank you Little Leaf 💙
Tucked into the landscape, the centre is beautifully designed for you to start at the top and work your way down. Displays are eye-catching, interesting and very informative especially an area where the text is projected on the rocks.
I highly recommend taking the hike into the valley to fully understand the site, but to also appreciate the wide variety of plants in the area. We were fortunate to see two archeology groups at work and to chat briefly with some of the members. Why is the parking lot at a lower level? To not disturb the potential archaeology.
My second visit, highly recommended.
Museum is a great display, elevators to top then walk down 5th exhibit, well designed. Good movie,
Walking trail worthwhile, active digs and students very happy to talk to u.
What an incredible space. You can feel the power of the land and the history while walking the outdoor trails. I am so glad I made the drive to experience this.
This heritage site is a must see. We were welcomed to the site and advised to see the movie immediately since it was restarting in a few minutes. This film was an excellent overview and certainly provides a lot of information. As per the direction by the staff, we went up to the upper viewpoint and then came down through the various levels of the museum. There is a wealth of information and if you really want to read/experience everything and walk both the upper and lower trails, you will need more than 2 hours. The museum and upper trail are fully accessible. If you are able, also do the lower trail to provide a different perspective - it is not accessible to walkers/wheelchairs.
