Day 13, June 6 Medicine Hat to Maple Creek, km 1393 to 1502, 109 km today. Plus side trip to Cypress Hills Park Centre Block. To 1571 for a total of 178 km.
We left Medicine Hat around 8:30, and very quickly had to shed some clothes. As the picture shows, there wasn't a cloud in the sky this morning. Today was dry and warmer than the previous days. Along the way we saw 6 more antelope. The TCH had gentle rolling hills with one longish hill after the Saskatchewan border. We continued to have the wind in our favour along the highway. We stopped at the visitor centre just before Maple Creek and got information about accommodations and Cypress Hills park. After checking into the motel and getting some supplies, we headed south for the Centre Block of the park. This time the wind was against us as were the hills. After getting into the park we made a loop around the lake and had a bit of a look around. As it was around 6 pm we thought that we should head back to Maple Creek. The trip back which was downhill with the wind took us about 50 minutes.
