Maple Creek

Located on the border of Saskatchewan and Alberta, Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park is a unique plateau that escaped the last ice age, creating a rare ecosystem unlike anywhere else on the surrounding plains. This elevated landscape supports diverse plant and animal species not found elsewhere in the region and is also designated as a Dark Sky Preserve, offering exceptional stargazing opportunities. A must-visit destination for nature lovers, hiking, and experiencing one of the most unique environments in Canada.

Located in Saskatchewan, Grasslands National Park is Canada’s only national park dedicated to protecting mixed-grass prairie — one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world. This vast and open landscape is home to black-tailed prairie dogs, reintroduced plains bison, and some of the darkest skies in the country. A must-visit destination for wildlife viewing, stargazing, and experiencing one of Canada’s most unique natural environments.
