The Cypress Hills are the highest point in mainland Canada between Labrador and the Rocky Mountains. They cover portions of both southern Saskatchewan and southern Alberta. Formed from millions of years of sedimentary deposits that were then eroded, the Cypress Hills form a high plateau surrounded by a rolling upland. The beautiful vista across the rolling landscape of the Cypress Hills are the inspiration for this colour-work cowl.
