The view from Jones Peak is utterly spectacular. Located about 10 kilometres southwest of Eastend, the peak offers panoramic views over the Frenchman River Valley — a vast sweep of coulees, badlands, and rolling grassland stretching to the horizon.
The peak is named after H.S. “Corky” Jones, a tireless amateur palaeontologist who spent decades preserving the fossils and history of the Eastend area. His work laid the foundation for the discoveries that would follow.
If you’re adventurous, there are spots where you can hike down into the valley. Ask locally for directions — signage is limited, but that’s part of the charm. Come for sunset if you can.
