Day 19: Waterton Park to Whisky Gap (21,000 acres of cows)

After a beautiful day Waterton, we were ready to continue our journey into Alberta, sans rain and slush of course.

The rolling foothills of southern Alberta turned out to be beautiful. As Lee said, "these parts are sparce". It was, we would go 15-20 km without a single occupied house.

Thousands of acres of ranch land pass by us as we went up and down and at time battled the wind. By the end if the day we found a big house looking out over the vast landscape. The wife of the local ranch manager named Lee graciously gave us water, a place to stay in one of her cow pastures and stories of the place and it's people. Our tent finally rested on a 4 square meter patch of grass, only a fraction of the 21000 acres of land they ranch with about 3000 cows. A great way to end a great day. You can see below why Leah had a good day!
