Rose Prairie Coulee

The Peace District lies north of where the Rocky Mtns go underground before they reappear way up by Fort Nelson (5 hours drive north of here). Consequently, the Peace is geographically part of the Alberta plains (or prairie land). It should be flat and boring but gently undulates and is carved by river valleys or as they are known up here "coulees". Left is a picture of the Rose Prairie coulee, one of the areas that we fell in love with when we explored the outskirts of Fort St John last March just after my interview with Dr. Andreiuk.
