Wild West Tour - Day 2
August 2, 2006

Are you a city slicker ready to experience the life of a cowboy? Echo Coulee Guest Ranch or TL Bar Ranch will give you the experience of a working ranch.

Buffalo Jump Canyon Ranch will also offer you a unique experience, as the only licensed guided trail operation through the Dry Island Buffalo Jump. While on the trail, go back in time to the adventures of Shady Green (page 14 of the Tales from the Trail) as he explored the Wild West in the early 1900?s.

Dry Island Buffalo Jump is a premier naturally preserved area that was once the site of massive buffalo kills. This remarkable natural area is now a pristine provincial park, ideal for hiking, bird watching, and fishing. Discover the wonder of this untouched land!

Wild West Tour - Day 1
August 1, 2006

Our most prominent Wild West adventure along the BoomTown Trail is offered by Stettler?s Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions. The adventure is an all day event that will take you back in time as you travel from Stettler to the Jimmy Jock Board Walk in Big Valley. As you travel back in time you can look to the East and image the House of Ill Repute (Page 1 of the Tales from the Trail) burning to the ground or when you arrive in Big Valley you can image The ?Dance? (Page 10 of the Tales from the Trail), that was held at the once Cree Sweetgrass camp.
