Since the weather forecasts were the best for the SW part of our province, we decided to go back to Cypress Hills<\/a><\/strong>. As we didn’t reserve a site, we ended up at the Terrace Campground, which was just as beautiful as the Rainbow where we stayed last year. The sites were a bit smaller and it was harder to find one that was level enough, but we ended up with #63 on a high spot overlooking all the lower levels (terraces). Gorgeous!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We got there early in the evening last Wednesday (2nd), after having a great supper at MeiMei’s (Chinese) in Swift Current. The next day we walked to the campground office (to register) and to the core area. We spent some time in the patio of the visitor centre overlooking Loch Leven<\/strong> – it was ‘only’ 16\u00b0C but it felt wonderful in the sun, true t-shirt weather over here \ud83d\ude42 After enjoying the weather and the view for a few hours we had some fast food (near the mini golf) for supper on our way back to the campground. The distances weren’t as far as we remembered from the first time. Our whole loop today was little over 4 km (from campsite to lake was 1.3 km)!<\/p>\n

On Friday we drove to Maple Creek and the West Block to visit the Fort Walsh National Historic Site<\/a> and the Conglomerate Cliffs<\/a>. It was a pretty long drive but beautiful. The Fort Walsh tour with actors was fun and the view from the Cliffs spectacular! On our last day, the Saturday, we had some rain showers, but we also played mini golf and hiked around the campground areas during the sunny periods\u00a0 in between. Again we didn’t see any moose on this trip, but a lot of deer, antelope, coyotes and a gazillion cows (see pics in the album) \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park – Terrace Campground<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the many campgrounds in the Centre Block, in a gorgeous forest setting. Terrace has 4 levels (terraces), it was 1-1.5 km away from the core area. We had an electric site for $22 and bought a Provincial Parks year pass for $50.\u00a0 There was a service centre with showers, but also small toilet buildings that had flush toilets and were very clean!Beautiful park, and it was nice to have all the extras open (store, food, visitor centre patio), as our first two visits were outside the season.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
