Where to Stay : The Resort at Cypress Hills is open year round, very close to the zipline tours. They offer hotel rooms, condos and cabins, and it’s a great location explore the attractions and wonders of the Saskatchewan side of Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park.

Getting There : Cypress Hills Eco Adventures is Located in the centre block of Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park on the Saskatchewan side (not the Alberta side). To access BaseCamp from the #1 Highway: turn south at junction #21, go through Maple Creek, SK, and continue on Highway #21 (straight south). Drive 28 kms and then turn right (Highway #221). Once through the park entry gate, turn left on Cypress Drive and follow the signs that show a person zip lining.

Note from Robin : While you’re in the area, visit the town of Eastend and check out Canada’s most complete skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Discovered by a local high school teacher in 1991, “Scotty” is on display in town’s T.rex Discovery Centre.
