Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump is among the world's oldest and best-preserved buffalo jumps. It’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a place that must be seen to be believed. The site preserves more than 6,000 years of Plains Buffalo and Blackfoot culture, and you'll find a host of archaeological and cultural treasures through its interpretive programming. The expert guides and interpretive centre at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump bring it all to life. The interpretive site features seven levels built into sandstone cliffs and makes for an unforgettable experience. Hiking trails above and below the cliff complete the picture and leave visitors with a rich understanding of the elaborate drive lane structure used by the Blackfoot people to hunt bison to sustain themselves throughout harsh winters.
