The Cypress Hills region features mixed grasslands, wetlands and montane habitats.〔http://tpr.alberta.ca/parks/cypresshills/naturalregions.asp Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation〕 Major hydrological features include the South Saskatchewan and Milk rivers. Extensive coulee systems have formed adjacent to major rivers resulting in badlands terrain. Near Walsh, Alberta at lies the Badlands Guardian. Here the landscape takes the form of a head wearing a feathered headdress. The head is approximately wide and deep. This unusual geographic feature is a result of natural erosion of the surrounding prairie. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cypress County」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
