One of the many great things about having people over is that it gives us the push to do extra sightseeing.
Tuesday June 10th we packed another lunch and went to see the Lethbridge Viaduct - the longest and highest railway bridge in North America - located along the Crowsnest Pass route. We had driven by many times admiring it from the car but had never been walking down there yet (in the Old Man River valley basin) and had heard it a worth while park to check out.
At the same location there is an old Indian Trading Post called Fort Whoop-Up. From the outside it didn't look like much (obviously I didn't even think it worth a photo!!) but we made the decision to go inside anyways and see what it had to offer. I was pleasantly surprised by the wealth of interesting information and displays set up! The kids loved it too - lots of real Indian artifacts, a taxidermy buffalo, goats and chickens to admire.
