Drive a couple hours north of Saskatoon, and you’ll see an endless prairie landscape. Fields of grain and corn, interspersed by farmhouses, sprouts of aspen forest, and small towns. Outside of Hafford, a small sign directs you to a forest where things take a decidedly weirder turn. Crooked Bush is a grove of aspen trees that mysteriously twist, bend and rope around each other. Aspens usually stand tall, but this particular grove seems straight out of a Tim Burton movie. A wooded boardwalk allows you to walk amongst the crooked trees, the result of a mutation, or, as some locals like to believe, a visiting UFO.
