Conservation Note
Cypress Hills is managed as an interprovincial park with emphasis on habitat protection and low-impact recreation; zipline operators work to minimize ground disturbance and follow park rules.
The Cypress Hills remained unglaciated during the last ice age, creating higher elevations and distinct ecosystems; the area also features heritage sites like Fort Walsh tied to 19th-century NWMP history.
