Grasslands National Park

Did you know that Grasslands National Park is the only national park in all of Canada to protect the mixed-grass prairie ecosystem? That it is the only place in Canada to see Black-tailed Prairie Dogs, and you’ll see thousands. And you will continually see buffalo roam, and deer and antelope play. And that rattlesnakes live there? And that it seems sometimes barren and bleak, and sometimes complex and wild, and that the light transforms the scenery in surprising ways from morn to dusk and cloud to sun? And that there are such large areas with nary a tree, that the few that exist are marked on a map? And that there is only 1 tree on the Two Trees Trail, since the bison rubbed against and felled one of the two trees? We really enjoyed this place!

Also, there are two short videos below the photos.
