Dry Island Buffalo Jump in Central Alberta, probably without a doubt one of my favorite places to go...This was taken on one of the pull over spots and at this point about 300 ft down....I believe that from top to bottom can be as much as 600 ft. A little early for the nice greens of spring but I will be back in a couple of week. This couple were at aw and said they will be back...
