Don’t miss this opportunity to see Head-
Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, a Provincial,
National, and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
For nearly six thousand years native people
stampeded buffalo over these cliffs for food,
clothing, tools, and shelter, ensuring their
survival and creating the buffalo culture that
survives even today among the Blackfoot.
Head-Smashed-In is one of the oldest and best preserved
buffalo jump sites in North America.
Inside our award-winning interpretive centre
you will learn from Blackfoot guides about the
techniques used in a buffalo hunt and the
centuries-old customs of the Plains People.
The site is open year round and is located 90
minutes from Calgary, near Fort Macleod on
secondary Hwy #785.
