After Waterton, Paul and Mavis headed home and we continued on, meeting up with Dennis and Irene at Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park. The last time we were here was many years ago when our kids were still all teenagers. It's a beautiful hidden gem far off the beaten path along the Milk River in southern Alberta.
We had a fun time clambering up and down the cliffs, walking along the river, and as it was so very hot, slipping into the water to cool off!

| The only drawback - those pesky 'no-see-ums" |
Writing-on-Stone is known for the petroglyphs and pictographs created the First Nations people. The hoodoos and cliffs are a sacred place and the rock art is probably ceremonial in nature. We took a tour of some of the artwork. It is being protected from vandalism and accessible only with a tour.
