First Nations Heritage and Old West History Day Trip from Calgary

Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump: It might sound like a news headline, but it's actually a UNESCO site that you can visit on this trip to southern Alberta from Calgary. It is one of the oldest and best-preserved sites of the 6,000-year-old practice of buffalo jumping, a hunting tradition you will learn more about from your guide of First Nations descent. Travel deeper into Canada's cowboy country for a lunch break in Fort Macleod followed by some free time at Heritage Park Historical Village. Inside the country’s largest living history museum, you can wander through settlements like a prairie railroad town, check out Gasoline Alley Museum, and take a ride on the steam-engine train.
