Road trip in Alberta - Tourist attraction
Ted and Peggy are taking me on a road trip today and I’ll be posting random photos along the way, This is a closer look at the Big Rock - Okotoks Erratic . Best seen large by clicking on the photo.
“Big Rock (also known as either Okotoks Erratic or, by the Blackfoot, as Okotok) is a 16,500-tonne (18,200-ton) boulder that lies on the otherwise flat, relatively featureless, surface of the Canadian Prairies in Alberta. It is part of the 930-kilometre-long (580 mi) Foothills Erratics Train of typically angular boulders of distinctive quartzite and pebbly quartzite.
"Okotoks is a town in the Province of Alberta, Canada. It is situated on the Sheep River, approximately 18 km south of the City of Calgary. The town is a member of the Calgary Regional Partnership, a cooperative of municipalities within the Calgary Region. Okotoks has emerged as a bedroom community of Calgary." - Wikipedia
