Where to Stay : The Elk Ridge Resort offers luxury rooms, cabins and townhouses. Other accommodation options available in the resort community of Waskeisu, located inside Prince Albert National Park

Getting There : Prince Albert National Park is located about 2 and half hours drive from Saskatoon, 60 kilometres north of the city of Prince Albert. You’ll be travelling on Highways #2 and #264 or the Scenic Route (Highway #263), all of which are paved, year-round roads.

Note from Robin : As with all wildlife viewing, there’s no guarantee you’ll actually see wolves. Better to enjoy the remoteness and beauty of the park, which includes the last herd of plains bison roaming in their natural range.
