cowboy trail

After a quiet night we left the metropolis via Higway 22 which they call the Cowboy Trail. The road follows gentle rolling hills with the prairie on the one side and the majestic Rocky Mountains on the other side. On our way south we did a breakpoint at Bar U Ranch National Historic Site of Canada. One can visit the original ranch headquarters situated along Pekisko Creek, consisting of 35 historic structures. For 70 years it's been one of the leading ranching operations in Canada.
