Manitoba-Saskatchewan
A feature known as the Porcupine Hills is located in the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. They are part of the Manitoba Escarpment,[1] which was the shoreline of the glacial Lake Agassiz. They are located northwest of Swan River, Manitoba, and are the headwaters of the Swan River.[2] The highest elevation in the Porcupine Hills is Hart Mountain, at an elevation of 823m,[1] Manitoba's second highest point.[2] Porcupine Provincial Forest surrounds the area.[1]
Alberta
There is also a geographical feature known as the Porcupine Hills in southern Alberta. The area gets its name from the Douglas-fir and pine trees that populate the crests of the hills. The region includes montane and subalpine forest, aspen parkland and prairie grassland.[3]
