Camping in Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park Part II

It’s hard to believe that our Cypress Hills trip was just 2.5 weeks ago. So much has happened in the days following our mini vacation that it feels like a month or two has passed. The first couple of days of our camping trip had us visiting cafes, taking a tour of Medicine Hat, and…
