Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park was an amazing surprise on our travels. Set on the Milk River in southern Alberta, are the sandstone formations that the Blackfoot people called Spirit Rocks
The rocks do have a spiritual energy that is hard to describe. From the visitors center here is a little history of that phenomenon and how they came to be called hoodoos.
The Blackfeet carved petroglyphs depicting important spiritual symbols and also a history of a battle scene with other First Nation groups.
