Bighorn Falls, Ya Ha Tinda, Alberta, September 2017. This was my first time to Ya Ha Tinda, which has the distinction of being “the only federally operated working horse ranch” in Canada. The horses that are raised and trained here are used by Parks Canada staff to patrol the national parks in Alberta and other parts of western Canada. The ranch has a long history dating back to the early 1900’s, and there is evidence that the site was inhabited well before that! (You can read more here). I was absolutely amazed by the incredible wild beauty of the area and a return trip is already planned for next year!

Wat een prachtig plekje
It is very special!
Is it true that Ya Ha Tinda means “prairie in the mountains”? If so, it’s clearly a place that needs to be on a to-be-visited list!
Yes, that’s true! It’s very much a mixed landscape – an absolutely amazing place to see!
What a wonderful place! I love your photo of the waterfall.
Thank you, Clare! It was so wonderful to be there! I’m looking forward to the next visit!
Neat shot, Sheryl. It’s always great to see your work.
