Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump Park
Located In south-west Alberta, the remains of marked trails and an aboriginal camp, and a tumulus where vast quantities of
buffalo (American Bison) skeletons can still be found, are evidence of a custom practiced by aboriginal peoples of the North
American plains for nearly 6,000 years. Using their excellent knowledge of the topography and of buffalo behavior, they
killed their prey by chasing them over a precipice; the carcasses were later carved up in the camp below.
We will Assemble at South Glenmore Park in SW Calgary at 8AM for the 222 km drive to Head-Smashed-in Buffalo Jump via
Hwy 22 south through Diamond Valley Longview; then west on Hwy 520 to Claresholm; South on Hwy 2 to Hwy 785 to the
park gates. This will be about a 4-hour drive including rest and fuel stops. We will have lunch at the HSIBJ Park and tour
the exhibits for approximately 2 ½ hours. We will return to Calgary via a similar route with rest stops along the way,
reaching south Calgary at about 6:30 PM. Model A's are preferred, however, if you wish to drive a modern car we would be
happy to meet you along the way or at our destination HSIBJ Park.
Contact Colin Outtrim, if you have any questions.
