Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump World Heritage Site

Of all the places I've visited on my travels, this one has by far the coolest name. If I ever start a hard rock or heavy metal band, the name of our first album will be Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump.

This is a place where First Nations people hunted the buffalo by stampeding herds over cliffs, thus the name. Those poor bison... but they do give lemmings a bad name. Unfortunately, we arrived too late in the day to check out the museum, but we did get to look around the site.
