Southern Alberta's Writing-On-Stone Park protects more rock art than any other location on the North American plains. For centuries, native people created petroglyphs and pictographs on the park's sheer sandstone cliffs. Writing-On-Stone has a unique and mystical landscape, characterized by mushroom-shaped rocks known as 'hoodoos' and 'coulees', damp, steep-walled ravines. Jasper National Park is far from any major city and less visited than many of its Rocky Mountain neighbours. Beyond the well-travelled highway, there is vast backcountry wilderness and abundant natural wonders; including the magnificent and intimidating Columbia Icefield. |
