Things to Do in Saskatchewan


By touring - Posted on 26 November 2009

Most people think this prairie province is flat and boring but in reality, it's quite hilly in the south and the north is a land of trees and lakes in the boreal forest. Best of all the people are very friendly and open and there's plenty of things to do in Saskatchewan.

Time slows down when travelling in Saskatchewan and that's perfect when looking for a relaxing vacation.

We've done road trips to Saskatchewan and even though it's no Banff or Whistler, the great open spaces of majestic prairies have created lasting memories.

It's amazing to stop in the middle of a prairie highway and not see one other human in all four directions. It feels like you're the last person on earth.

Of course there's things to do in urban areas, such as casinos, spas, shopping and periodic festivals & airshorws. But the appeal to me driving the open roads, visiting the small towns and talking with the friendly residents.

The last time I was in Val Marie, Saskatchewan, I met the mother of Bryan Trottier (NHL hockey player for the New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins).

Saskatchewan is all about wide-open spaces and getting far, far away from it all!
