what to expect

Writing-on-Stone/ Áísínai'pi, a UNESCO World Heritage site, presents a significant cultural landscape that integrates the natural environment, cultural features, human experiences and spiritual perceptions into one. Here in this unique setting, Indigenous people came for centuries and recorded their experiences and visions on the sandstone cliffs of the Milk River Valley. This extensive rock art collection depicts generations of knowledge, traditions and history. From the Town of Milk River, drive 32 km east on Secondary Highway 501, and south 10 km on Secondary road 500; (entire route paved).
