As you enter Southwest Saskatchewan stop for a moment, get out of your vehicle, take a deep breath and absorb the sights, sounds, and feel of the surrounding prairie. The area may look vast and flat, but appearances are deceiving.
During the 1800s, cattle rustlers and outlaws such as Butch Cassidy and Sam Kelly sought refuge in the caves of the Big Muddy Badlands. Imagine the sprawling 76 Ranch that encompassed 10,000 acres in the 1800s making it the largest cattle ranch in Canada. Red Coats came to stop cattle rustlers, the whisky trade, and keep the peace when Sitting Bull sought refuge after Custer’s Last Stand – the remains of their forts lay scattered along the historic Red Coat Trail. The petroglyphs and T.rex archaeology sites allow you to imagine prehistoric times when the area’s landscape was very different. While your in the area, take in the longest, continuous running rodeo (over 118 years) which even beats out the Calgary Stampede!
Take a drive to the top of the “bench” and be enthralled at the vista of rolling grain fields and endless horizon. Feel in awe as you discover the beauty and wonder of the Great Sand Hills, Frenchman River Valley, Grasslands National Park, and Cypress Hills.
Park and play in one of the many regional parks and lakes that sit nestled like jewels in the landscape. This vast landscape offers new things to do and see with another great park to stay in as you explore over the next hill.
