Cypress Hills Provincial Park

Additional info ...... One of Alberta’s largest provincial parks is located in the southeast corner of the province. In fact, Cypress Hills is Canada’s first and only interprovincial park, with portions in both Saskatchewan and Alberta. The unusual combination of natural regions here is due to the extreme altitude of the hills, which rise 1,466 metres (4,810 feet) above sea level-the highest point of land between the Canadian Rockies and Labrador. Because of this, the hills were not covered by glaciers during the last ice age.
