 | Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park http://www.cypresshills.com/ Straddling both Saskatchewan in the southwest and Alberta in the southeast, Cypress Hills became Canada’s first “interprovincial” park in 1989. The park actually rests in the wake of a giant glacier, and the vast plateau that remained slowly became a lush forest of lodgepole pines. Visitors enjoy exceptional camping, hiking and skiing, not to mention the breathtaking views and pure, clean air. | | Medicine Hat Mall http://www.ttproperties.com/mhm_retail/ Let’s get ready to shop!
