Moose Mountain rises as a wooded plateau above the prairie of southeastern Saskatchewan, some 200 metres above the surrounding plains. Aspen, birch and poplar grow on the upland, while the grasslands below supported large herds of bison. Indigenous people built a stone medicine wheel on the plateau, and its ring of stones marked a sacred site for ceremonies and vision quests. Cree and Assiniboine bands used the high ground as a landmark on their travels across the plains, and the view from the summit reached far over the open country.
