It flows out of the ice fields in the Rocky Mountains, down through the foothills and across the prairies.On most of it’s east – west journey it seperates the great western plains to the south from the boreal forests of the Canadian north. This unusual geographical position allows it to shelter a wide diversity of plants and wildlife, some of the speecies at the southern end of their natural range and some species at the northern end.
