Kleskun Hill Provincial Natural Area is an unexpected park in northwestern Alberta, Canada, east of Grande Prairie. This natural area is home to one of Alberta's northernmost badlands. Cacti grow here and this population is one of the northernmost wild cactus populations in the world. Despite being this far north, the barren south facing exposures allow Brittle Prickly Pear Cacti (Opuntia Fragilis) to grow here. They are the most cold tolerant type of cactus in the world and this allows them to survive here in northern Alberta. This unexpected pocket of badlands sticks up out of the prairie grasslands and aspen parkland plains of the area. The views from up top are spectacular and the plant life unique in this little oddity of the Peace Country region.

Such a beautiful little place to explore. Great views, camping, children's playground and so well maintained.
