Cypress Hills

I realized that I hadn't updated my adventures lately so thought I'd let you in on what I found on my way home from a visit in Alberta. Would you believe that Saskatchewan has a winery? It's the Cypress Hills Winery and it's a bit off the main highway but a nice detour.

They have complimentary wine tastings so I thought I'd have a bite to eat. It being a Friday they only had their cheese plates available but it was quite filling. I left with a full belly, a bottle of black currant and honey wine and a quick walk around the vineyards.


Further down the highway, and I use that term loosely was the West Block of Cypress Hills. I decided to check it out since I was in the area already. It was a narrow road with a little section that made me reminisce of island driving minus the steep cliff drops. After coming to the end of the road at Fort Walsh I continued back and down the path less traveled because I saw a sign for the conglomerate cliffs. These cows met me at another fork in the road all cozied up together like ambassadors.


Finally after some minor 4x4ing I found the cliffs. While they offered a great view and some quiet time there was no climbing to be found. I tried. There are however some great opportunities to explore so I'm sure I'll be back.
