Travel Directions:
From Hwy 1 (Trans-Canada Hwy), take Morley Road, Exit
131, north 3.6 km to Hwy 1A, turn left (west) on 1A, 12
km to “Stoney Indian Park / Buffalo Paddock”
sign. Turn left (south) at the “Peacekeepers”
building (now a burned ruin), 0.8 km to gate, then go 1.5
km beyond the gate to the site (past the vandalized
building with the peaked roof and the “WOMEN”
and “MEN” signs on the front at approximately
0.7 km, then an additional 0.8 km). The site is on the
right (south) side of the road. Note: The last 1 km of
this road is rough; walk it if your vehicle can’t
stand it.
[Alternately, if you are coming from the
cliffs at Seebe (see Chapter 12, 01 09 28, and 01 09 38), turn right
(north) onto 1X (the road you came in on), go 2.1 km to
intersection of 1A; go right (east) 8.8 km; turn right
(south) at “Peacekeepers” building, proceed as
directed above.]
The park is officially closed during
wintertime though access by foot is feasible, weather
permitting. You might want to contact Ray Greenwood,
(403) 881-2614, for access arrangements, which may
require payment of a $5 fee. Security guards in the area
have been known to save paperwork by collecting fees from
visitors on the spot.
Remarks:
Although this is a park, please be mindful that it is
Native land and worthy of special respect. Most of the
Sheep Procession #1 footage was taken at Canyon Creek and
nearby Moose Mountain. This shot (which is actually quite
close to the locations of the Dead Sheep and the Sheep
Tangle scenes) captures the lovely Bow River, as well as
the dramatic canyon that it forms.
Important:
Always obtain appropriate permission before entering
private property and Native reserve lands. You may
encounter horses roaming. Drive slowly and be prepared to
stop. Do not leave valuables in parked cars.
