One of our favourite sites, not just because of the name  which is wonderful and is "as it says on the tin" and the story behind the name - without giving too much away beware your curiousity and where you watch one- off events from. The museum is excellent and gives you in-depth information on the site and helps understand why this place is unique and a site of wonder. It tells the story of the buffalo jump and all the factors which had to be in place to make a"jump" work, the weather, the wind, the herd - are there young, are they relaxed, the roles of the hunters and the young men, one in particular who becomes the calf and the story of the run and jump. It was a surprise to learn how complex the jump was and how rare. The museum is also highly respectful of First Nation people, as it should be.

We enjoyed walking  around the site to see the jump from all angles but largely found ourselves alone on the walk, most people seeming to stay in the museum or on the walk of the upper site.

My partner is a history teacher and his main interests are the American West and the 2 World Wars. The history of this site  and the insite to the lives of first nations people is bound to appear in some of his lessons.
