Spirit Way in Thompson, Manitoba


While I was at the 50th anniversary celebrations in the City of Thompson, I had a chance to notice the progress being made in developing Spirit Way - a walking trail which features notable artistic and historic sites.

Under development is a huge carving into rock, after the style of Mount Rushmore, which will be 240 meters long and almost 5 meters high and include images of wolves howling at the northern lights.

Already there is a large painting of a wolf (see photo), and many other featured attractions.
