My sister and I have been busy planning a road trip of southwestern Saskatchewan and southern Alberta most of this year. Our goal is to explore the area, see some of the sights and take advantage of the free admission to Canadian National Parks and Historic Sites this year.
On Day 1 of our trip, we visited the first of two national parks we planned to see: Grasslands National Park located in southwestern Saskatchewan.
There was no way we could see all of even one block in just a day, so we chose to drive part of the Ecotour Road in the West Block and enjoyed a picnic lunch along the way.

We encountered buffalo, black-tailed prairie dogs and even a mule deer as we
drove. Thankfully, we avoided any rattlesnakes out
basking in the sun!
Although we only saw a fraction of
the West Block, we were wowed by its vastness! It truly is a treasure in
southern Saskatchewan's backyard. Why not plan to check it out for
yourself?
