Winter at Strathcona Island Park in Medicine Hat (4K) | Journey Alberta
While visiting family over the winter season in my hometown of Medicine Hat, my mom and I venture down to Strathcona Island Park to walk around on a more mild winter day. We walk near the interpretive center, and on our walk see a berm constructed to aid in diverting flood waters when the South Saskatchewan River floods again. We also see a tree that had been chewed down by a beaver!
I use the following equipment to make videos:
A Panasonic G7 at 4K/30fps, a GoPro Hero 4, and a DJI Phantom 3 4K.

(4K) - Exit the Trans Canada at Medicine Hat and go north to see this
Canada in stunning 4K UHD video. In this video: I take you on a drive heading north from the Trans Canada at Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada.
We tour around the mall and one of the shopping districts and then head into the river valley in the city center.
Medicine Hat is located in south eastern Alberta and is called the Gas City because it sits on top of the largest known natural gas fields in the world.
I did not edit out the red lights so you can see how we have the longest red lights in the history on humankind. Some are so long you need to pack a lunch.

Saamis Tepee and Police Point Park - Medicine Hat, AB, Canada
My first 19 slides are from the Saamis Tepee and the surrounding area. The last 18 are of Police Point Park in Medicine Hat.
About the SAAMIS TEPEE
~~Saamis Tepee is a very recognizable landmark located easily in the community of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada.
Towering at just over 65 metres (215 feet) the giant steel tepee looms over the Seven Persons Creek river valley and its coulees.
The Saamis Tepee was built in 1988 for the Calgary Winter Olympics by Steve Illes. The tepee once housed the famous Olympic flame during the ceremonies.
The tepee was meant as a symbol of the First Nation people during the Olympics. The colors of the tepee rings have significance. The white ring is said to represent purity, the red represents the sun and the blue means water.
After the Olympics, the giant tepee was disassembled and moved to Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. Today, it sits on a ridge, easily viewed from Highway #1 when coming and going from Medicine Hat.
Inside the Saamis Tepee are a series of 10 historic story boards detailing the lives of the First Nation people. There are giant murals, beautifully done - each with information billboards.
From the Saamis Tepee there is a recreation trail leading north which connects to the Kin Coulee Park and the Heritage Trail System.~~
About POLICE POINT PARK
~~Police Point Park is a wilderness park and recreation destination situated on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River in the community of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada.
The 98 hectare ( 242 acre) park is a wildlife nature reserve heavily decorated in a forest of cottonwood trees with open fields of prairie grasslands. It is a popular destination for walking, sightseeing and birdwatching.
This Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada park is part of a flood plain and is identified as a riparian area with a sensitive eco system. At one time the parkland was a NWMP (North West Mounted Police) outpost monitoring the fur trade and policing whisky.
Today, it is a wilderness park with very little human intervention located away from city sights and sounds. The lack of noise and high people traffic combined with the high volume of trees and the rich river environment - the park attracts many birds to the area.
The Police Point Park is one of the more popular birdwatching destinations in Medicine Hat for viewing song birds and waterfowl.
Some of the bird sightings may include the Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, Fox Sparrows, White-throated Sparrows, ,American Tree Sparrows, American Kestrel, Juncos, Red-breasted Nuthatch, House Finches and Black-capped Chickadees.
Connecting to the park is a paved trail and exploring the park is a series of red rock gravel, dirt and sand trails. The paved trail connects the city of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada to Police Point Park via the Heritage Trail System.
The side trails in the Police Point Park explore the forested park and the banks of the South Saskatchewan River. Many of the trails are loop routes. Most are very easy going, short and level paths.
The main gravel pathway leads visitors out to the bend in the South Saskatchewan River where the mighty river meets the Rose and Seven Persons Creeks.
Along the trails are information signs, lookout viewing platforms and some sightseeing benches providing some of the best views in the community of the river.
At the entrance of the park is the Police Point Nature Centre. Here they provide washrooms, interpretive guides and more information signs.~~

This is by the river as a family walk by. Early Spring in Medicine Hat Canada
outh Saskatchewan River Camping and Canoe Trip. Alberta, Canada July 2011 - 2
outh Saskatchewan River Camping and Canoe Trip, Alberta, Canada 2011
A nice short trip of about 12 hours of easy paddling in the first week of July while the water levels are still relatively high. (Peak levels occur approximately 2 weeks prior).
100 kms paddling from the beginning of the South Saskatchewan River to Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. Average speed is 8 km/hr. Suited to novice to intermediate paddlers. A few ripples in the river is about all you come across. No rapids. Beautiful scenery and you may see no one else the entire trip. Take LOT'S of mosquito repellent and sun screen. All land is (Private Property) so either camp below the high water line (legal on private property) or on an island as there are several. (Government property) Wildlife you may expect to see; Deer, Rattle Snake, Eagles and Hawks, Pelicans, Beaver, Coyote, Fox and an abundance of beautifully colored birds which I cannot identify. I have no information about fishing however we saw several large fish jumping. Not advised to eat fish or fresh water clams from this river. Excellent photo opportunities.
For further information see this useful guide.
Riverside Veterans' Park, Medicine Hat | Journey Alberta
While in Medicine Hat for the holidays, I journeyed out to Riverside Veterans' Memorial Park. There are monuments there dedicated to people from Medicine Hat who fought in wars, such as the Korean War. There's also a Sherman Tank in the back part of the park, donated in memorial of those lost during World War II. After exploring the park I enjoyed the view of Finlay Bridge, and saw a train crossing down the river across the train bridge. From there I headed across the street and briefly looked at the beautiful architecture of the Medicine Hat City Hall. I had a great time checking out my hometown, and for this video I aimed for a more cinematic look. I didn't shoot it with my GoPro as usual, and opted to use a Nikon DSLR at 24 frames per second, and set the camera color to a flat image so I could color it the way it looks in this final video. Enjoy!

Police Point Park in Medicine Hat (4K) | Journey Alberta
I travel down to Medicine Hat on a late fall day and walk around Police Point Park. I admired the surroundings and note how quiet everything seems to be at this time of year, as there are barely any people out walking the park's many trails. I complete my exploration of the park by sitting near the South Saskatchewan River and flying my DJI Phantom 3 4K drone out over the waters of the river. I had a great time in the park, especially because it was so quiet and serene.
