Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, Transboundary dark-sky preserve in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada.

The park encompasses dense forests, rolling hills, and wetlands spread across 391 square kilometers between the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Indigenous peoples, including Assiniboine and Blackfoot Nations, utilized the region's resources for hunting and gathering before European settlement began.

Fort Walsh within the park boundaries served as a North-West Mounted Police post, establishing legal authority in western Canada during the 1870s.

Visitors can access multiple campgrounds, hiking trails, and interpretive centers through main entrances from both Alberta and Saskatchewan provincial highways.

The elevation reaches 1,400 meters above sea level, making it the highest point between the Rocky Mountains and Labrador in Canada.
