The Big Muddy Badlands
Weathered buttes, steep cliffs, and eroded sandstone caves greet visitors in Saskatchewan’s badlands, serving as hideouts for some of the wild west’s most infamous outlaws.
The Cypress Hills
Straddling the borders two provinces, Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park contains the highest elevation between the Rockies and Labrador. This makes flying with Cypress Hills Eco Adventures particularly interesting
Bust the Chicago Connection
Beneath the streets of Moose Jaw lie a labyrinth of tunnels with a sordid history. Built to shelter Chinese immigrants, the Chicago Connection took over to create a bootlegger pipeline so rich authorities denied it for five decades.

Float for days on a mirror-glass glacial lake, surrounded by rocky islands of Canadian shield, under those clear, observatory-like prairie skies.
Spot Satellites in a Dark Sky
Grasslands National Park is Canada’s darkest Dark Sky Preserve, a romantic, fascinating mecca for stargazers that is protected from any form of artificial light.
