Southern Alberta
Here some pictures of day one of the road trip:
On the road to the south, an old house in Fort Macleod
.
Our stop for the night, Lethbridge, a city of about 70,000 people, which once used to be Fort Whoop-Up, the most notorious alcohol trading post in the whole wild west.
.
The Highlevel Bridge, built in 1908/09 for the Canadian Pacific Railway is the largest of its kind worldwide. Hidden in Lethbridge, Alberta, who would have thought that?
.
Valley view from the Highlevel Bridge:
.
No - that's not Mexico, that's at the Highlevel Bridge too. I've heard before that there are Cactuses in Southern Alberta, but really seeing one in the grass and knowing that in a couple of months it will be snow and ice and minus 20 degrees - that was funny!
