At Crowsnest Pass
August 7th- Arriving at Highway 3 at about 1:30PM we headed west. None of us was in the mood for a tour of the Bellevue Mine site or the miners' cemetery, but we managed to make it up to the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre for a look around. Emotionally we felt more ready for a full tour of Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump, it was more where we were at emotionally I guess. I asked the information girl in Pincher Creek if she thought the 45 minute drive was worth it, she said yes so off we went. After fighting through highway construction we felt like our heads had been smashed in. The wind was gusting to 60kph and the sun was hot, but we made it. We all had a really good look around and took in the reality of this place.
