The name certainly invokes an accurate image.  For more than 5500 years, Plains Indians took advantage of this cliff area in the plains near Macleod, AB to hunt.  Braves on foot worked together to gather, lead, and ultimately stampede herds of the great beasts over the cliff to their death.  It is all a bit gruesome but also an amazing feat accomplished by using the terrain and a fantastic understanding of the herd behavior.  We have seen a few examples of buffalo jumps in the US but this one is probably the most intact of any we have seen.  The interpretation center has been constructed to blend well into the landscape and the exhibits are both informative and fun.

The view of the Rockies across the open plains is pretty spectacular too.
