Frank Slide

One wet day in Calgary we decided to visit Waterton with Melvin and Heather. Waterton is three hours away from Calgary the scenery was flat in the beginning and then lead to some glorious mountains, the weather had started getting better.
On the way Mel wanted us to see Frank slide. Frank was a very old mining town. In early nineteen’s a mountain slid down and covered most of the town while they were sleeping miners got caught in the mines. Fortunately they dug themselves out of there. But when they came up saw the devastation and was unable to help the people underneath as there were feet’s of boulders on top of the village. One can still see the remnants of that. Very sad.

It has the smallest and quaintest church in Canada.




















It was drizzling with rain we had a fabulous picnic in the car which my aunt prepared for us. We passed through the town and we saw the smallest Church in Canada so quaint. I added my name to visitor’s book.













Town covered under the boulders













There is also remnants of a stone which 93 million old how it dislodged it self in Ice age.
