I don't know but I'd love to have that sight.
Seeing as you brought up the subject of cactuses....just thought I would point out a few my wife has growing in front of our house. Prickly Pears, I believe.
She has had these growing here for the past 30 years, and they are doing quite well.
We found them along the steep south facing banks of the nearby Peace River Valley.
Oh...by the way we are located north of Peace River, Alberta....north of the 57th parallel.... not real cactus country.
Apparently we have the perfect soil along the banks, and with long days in the steep facing sun, they do quite well there.

That’s okay, I was surprised to find prickly pear in my father in law’s pasture in S. Dakota (Black Hills). Rather stunted, but thriving.
Your wife must have found a small variety that I have never seen before. The prickly pears I know grow around 1.5m - 3m high. Some of the leaves are large enough to hide behind.

Too funny. I was going to ask if you ever saw the movie Eiger Sanction….Seems I was right. How odd.

I've been here many times over 17 years. It's kind of funny because when I saw both The Eiger Sanction and On Her Majesty's Secret Service as a kid, this area was pretty much make believe to me. It was like it was Disneyland, but it wasn't a real place.
Further, my original motivation for coming here really had very little to do with the movies, other than minor footnotes about the geography. I thought "well, maybe I should go there, it looks cool and find out if any of it is actually real". When I got here the first time, I was blown away. I was like "holy shit, not only is it real, but there is so much more here that the movies DIDN'T show".
I've been here enough times now to where I know the ropes and know my way around very well. Even with all the other tourists, I feel very comfortable and laid back here. But, that's because I know how to avoid them to a great extent. The general rule is that you stay away from this entire area between our Memorial Day and our Labor Day. It's packed/overflowing and really isn't a pleasant vacation destination, other than the scenery. I suppose nothing unusual about any of that.

Plenty of cactus south of Pringle.
You can find it pretty much anywhere out on the prairie.
My knees and ass cheeks can confirm that...
I learned to look carefully before kneeling or sitting.
