Mari says that adventure is out there... even if you have to enjoy it from the comfort of your @kurgo rucksack because your doggy sister is too crazy for your liking 🙄 Mari is a mood, is she not? #marimeows #catventuresofmari #writingonstone https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wdGSeFdwM/?igshid=fvdlq4v9ws08

Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park | Alberta, Canada

Location: Writing-On-Stone (Áísínai’pi) Provincial Park Hikes: Easy Notes: Beware of rattlesnakes. Do not walk through brush or reach into holes. Bring: Sunscreen, a hat, plenty of water, bug spray.

Writing-On-Stone is not just a place to visit for the hoodo's, it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its long history and sacred status with the indigenous people of the area.

 "The Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksikáíítsitapi) left engravings and paintings on the sandstone walls of the Milk River Valley, bearing testimony to messages from Sacred Beings. Dated in situ archaeological remains cover a period between ca. 4,500 BP - 3,500 years BP and the Contact Period. This landscape is considered sacred to the Blackfoot people, and their centuries-old traditions are perpetuated through ceremonies and in enduring respect for the places." unesco

There are petroglyphs (rock carvings) and pictographs (rock paintings) you can see — especially if you take the free guided tour — but because of constant vandalism and defacing, I have to ask that you treat them with respect.

With wildfires burning seemingly everywhere, my trip to Writing-On-Stone (2015) was an eye-stinging event. There was a cloud of thick smoke in the air at all times which gave photos an eerie sunset effect in the middle of the day. Still, I would for sure go back, even if it meant braving more smoke.

If looks could kill... I love this photo so much because it not only accurately depicts Maggie’s happiness while we were at #writingonstone this weekend, but it also shows just how Mari felt about Maggie’s excitement. Maggie was just too hyper for that sassy cat, so she just remained in her @kurgo rucksack most of the time. Her face kills me though. 😾 #marimeows #maggiemoothemutt #kurgotogether #kurgorucksack https://www.instagram.com/p/B780KdVF3ON/?igshid=125c8n7kr1nzk
