Saskatchewan is so flat and boring

[ReginaGuy]

At least, that's what most people think..

Skyscrapercity has a saskatchewan photos thread, I figured this forum needed one too:tup:

Most people only know Saskatchewan from passing through it on the trans-canada highway, which goes through the flattest areas of the province (mostly ancient glacial lake beds, which were left flat as the lakes deposited thick layers of clay). Most don't even know that Saskatchewan has more forests than wheat fields, and over 100,000 lakes.

What people don't see are the many amazing beautiful areas in Saskatchewan that can only be found if you venture off the highway.

I believe Saskatchewan is a land full of undisturbed wild beauty. People don't give it enough credit.

These pics are a mix of ones I found on the internet, and a few that I took. Enjoy!

great post....sask is so underrated it is ridiculous...

[Wooster]

It is sad that people's impressions of Saskatchewan are almost exclusively formed on the basis of the view from the Trans Canada highway. That province has some truly spectacular and beautiful natural scenery. It is Canada's best kept secret. One of my favourite places in Canada is Prince Albert Park, which I am pretty sure are in a number of these pictures.

[drew]

^ ditto for Manitoba. Except Prince Albert Park...

Nice pics...

[feepa]

This might be better in the Canada section so more people outside of Western Canada can appreciate Saskatchewan. I would figure most people from Manitoba, Alberta, and BC are already somewhat aware of whats in Saskatchewan.

[ReginaGuy]

^^ You're probably right, can someone move it to the Canada section?

[1ajs]

what no pics of the urianium mine :P

gota love the canadian sheild :)

[harls]

awesome.

Are a lot of those from the Cypress hills area?

some of my fondest childhood memories were from camping trips to Moose mountain provincial park.. what a great place that was (the women at the waterslides were unbelieveable!).

[ReginaGuy]

^^ I think only 3 are from the cypress Hills area

I gotta say that even the 'flat' prairie is very beautiful in it's own way, especially at certain times of the year, or even the day. Late summer when the canola fields are yellow, or in the fall during harvest is spectacular. Sunrise and sunset is also very nice with the wide open horizons, and a watching a thunderstorm in the distance while you are driving at 3 AM is spectacular.

That said, it can get a little boring when you drive the same stretch of highway over and over for hours on end.

It's funny, my wife's family lives in Regina. When we visit them, we get a little antsy after a few days for lack scenery (the landscape is so flat). When her sister visits us in Calgary, she starts to get antsy after a few days as she feels hemmed in, almost claustrophobic from the trees and hills surrounding her.

[HomeInMyShoes]

Flat in itself is not uninteresting. I'll add watching storms roll across the prairie:

Done. :)

[CCF]

Simply beautiful photos.

I agree with those who appreciate the flat. It allows for a glorious view of the sky. I don't think there is anywhere else that you can get such lively, wide open skies. I particularly enjoy the summer sunrise, or watching a downpour from miles away.

Maybe one day if I'm rich I'll bring some hills to Regina. ;)

Edit, not working.

This looks like the Lake Diefenbaker/Sask. Landing areas along highway 4 north of Swift Current, which is absolutely stunning, especially in August when the wheat is mature.

[IntotheWest]

^ I believe that is the Nipekamew Sand Cliffs...

The "Egypt" sand dune is the Great Sand Hills...

and the "Australia" pic is the Big Muddy in southern/central Sask.

I agree the flat prairies alone are fantastic - and the subject of a few of my paintings. But to think that's all there is in such a vast space, well, those pics prove otherwise.

Sask and MB - and Alberta outside of the Rockies for that matter - are extremely underrated.

[Waterlooson]

http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/343/giantduneathabascap104sur8.jpg

That's part of the Athabasca sand dunes in northwestern Saskatchewan - southern shore of Lake Athabasca.

Wrong... it's part of the Athabasca sand dunes.

yup those are the Athabasca sand dunes, the largest active sand dunes in Canada

here's a pic of the great sand hills

Any pics of Qu'appelle Valley? We used to go there when I was a kid, and I drove through it again on the way to Wpg a few years ago...forgot how beautiful it is. None of the pics seem to be of that.

A thread for MB on this would be great too!

[The Jabroni]

Those are simply amazing. Saskatchewan and Manitoba COMBINED are heavily underrated provinces. There are so much beautiful things in these provinces, barely anyone knows about it. Hell, I didn't even know there were active sand dunes in Saskatchewan.

Awesome pics.

[IntotheWest]

^awesome pics. I hope to go camping next year in Cypress hills...South-east AB/Sask/MB summers are still my favourite in Canada.

@jabroni - What a lot of even MBers probably don't know is how much better the lakes look up North...even lake Winnipeg - extremely clear...amazingly beautiful. I've only made it up to Thompson and Flin Flon - but good enough to realize how much you miss just staying in the south.

There are dunes in SW MB as well ( though not as impressive) - the Spirit Sands.

[Arriviste]

Great thread.
I would love to take my Jeep up and over those sand dunes. Perhaps a road trip in the spring.

[Taller Better]

It is hard to imagine that Saskatchewan has all that variety of topography! Thanks for posting these amazing pix!

[Greco Roman]

To each his own :cool:

[Greco Roman]

I don't know where else to put this, so I'll place my question here.

Does anyone know when they are finally going to twin that stretch of Hwy. 11 between Saskatoon and Regina, around Chamberalin? That little two lane stretch is soooooooo annoying. I have almost been in 2 accidents driving in that area because so many people treat it as a four lane highway :hell:

[IntotheWest]

To each his own :cool:

Not sure I understand your comment...to be fair though, I haven't seen the Athabasca sand dunes in person, so maybe the Spirit Sands are as impressive - I was comparing to the picture, and I don't recall the dunes being that big in Carberry.


Reginaguy - now you gotta post more of Sask's beautiful northern lakes! Hard to find good pics for the northern regions of MB/Sask.

[Greco Roman]

Not sure I understand your comment... I don't recall the dunes being that big in Carberry.

Not intentionally trying to be an ass, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, is all I'm saying. To say one is "not as impressive" as another is a matter of opinion, and that is fair enough. We all have opinions on the matter; You have yours and I have mine, is all.

That stretch lasts for about 2 minutes? I drive that highway on a consistent basis (more often than I'd like) and I've never had a problem with it (knock on wood.) If they twinned that stretch, I'd see it as a waste of money.

[TheMeltyMan]

Its kind of cheating to say that your province has such scenic diversity when your province is larger than France.

Still, i had no idea. I'd love to trade the city for that right now.

Not really cheating at all. More so, it's about eliminating the perceptions that people have about Saskatchewan.

If you venture off the trans Canada highway you are going to find some pretty amazing places. Heck, get off the #1 highway for 20 minutes in the Regina area and you'll find yourself in the gorgeous Qu'Appelle Valley.

[MrChills]

WOW!

I have never been to Saskatchewan (or Manitoba) but, my impression was that they were flat and boring. You just blew me away, thanks!!!

wow! I have been one of those people that thought sask was just a flat boring place. Seeing these pics makes me want to go and visit. The Sask government or whoever is responsible for tourism should market Sask more so people know whats really there.

[Aylmer]

I have never seen such nice pictures of Saskatchewan but I do like the flat aspect of the province...

It's sooooo open and all you can see is sky and the canola feilds!

[KrisYYC]

I find driving through Ontario (endless trees, commie block towns) much more boring than Sask. Maybe because I was born and raised on the prairies and I feel more comfortable with huge open skies.

Great pics!

There are some awesome places to camp, boat and canoe in SK. I have really enjoyed the areas just NW of Saskatoon.

[Jamaican-Phoenix]

Many parts of Saskatchewan are famous for their flatness, but people seem to forget that the Canadian Shield runs through Saskatchewan as well... ;)

[wild wild west]

Great pictures. Indeed Saskatchewan really does have a bunch of hidden gems, some of them not far off the beaten path. And some great, AFFORDABLE cottage country too.

Unfortunately many people's opinion of Saskatchewan is framed by a combination of Corner Gas, prairie jokes and the Trans-Canada Highway, which takes in some of the least interesting parts of the province.

[vid]

Ontario is flatter... Except the Superior highlands, of course. "picturesque grandeur" and "Gibraltar of the Canadian West" and all that jazz.

BTW -- when driving through the region, to pass time, I count cell towers, telephone poles, and meese. :) (Or you can go through the US. You'll get to see Chicago! Isn't that better than Thunder Bay?)

[Phil McAvity]

Why did you post a bunch of pictures of BC and then say it is Saskatchewan? ;)

This might be better in the Canada section so more people outside of Western Canada can appreciate Saskatchewan. I would figure most people from Manitoba, Alberta, and BC are already somewhat aware of whats in Saskatchewan.

I am from BC and my awareness of Saskatchewan definitely falls into the "somewhat" category, as in almost none. In fact, i couldn't believe many of these pictures were taken there. My only experience there was the south and it looked nothing like most of these pictures.

These are phenomenal pictures.

[Cambridgite]

Yeah, I remember driving from Sault Ste. Marie to Cambridge and it wasn't particularly great, but it's better than Cambridge to Windsor. Talk about flat and boring. There's some rolling hills around KW, but once you get around Chatham and extreme southwestern Ontario, it gets really flat and agricultural.

I've only been in eastern Canada, so my favourite landscapes are the Gatineau hills (north of Ottawa) and parts of Newfoundland (St. John's and the interior).

[Keng]

Great post, many parts of Canada seem to suffer from misinformation based on things like driving down the trans Canada etc. Manitoba is hit with this often as well, but has much to offer that many Canadians don't know about, your a great Sask. ambassador...:tup:

[graupner]

Sask. has some of the biggest virgin forests left in Canada. I belive you should leave people thinking it is only flat lands so they won't come rip your natural jewels.
Those pics make me wanna come visit it!!

I posted those pictures a long time ago and I didn't take them so I can't say for sure where all of them are from, but quite a few are in the south...The last 3 were for sure, the one of Deer Valley is, as a matter of fact, it's only a few minutes from Regina.) The top four are different the Gem Lakes which are north of Prince Albert. I urge you to check out www.virtualsk.com (that's where I found the Gem Lakes pictures) they have all kinds of great pictures and neat stories.

The problem is that people never leave the highway. The drive through Northern Ontario is boring because the geography is boring, but the geography is only boring because boring geography is easier to build trains and highways on. A lot of the best places to see, geographically speaking, in this country, aren't along highways. Most don't even have roads.

[The Jabroni]

Saskatchewan and Manitoba ain't flat and boring, that's for sure. If I were able to shoot a movie in Saskatchewan using those great places as backdrops, people would be wondering where on Earth was the movie shot. ;)

Also vid, to make you feel better, I went into the back country between Kenora and Dryden a few years back. Definitely not boring. :D

Northwest Ontario including the area around Thunder Bay is fantastic, Ouimet Canyon, The Falls, rolling hills etc. Great skiing, both cross country and downhill. Good enough for the Nordic Games. The drive from Duluth to T.Bay is great. T. Bay area's lack of proximity to large centre's and it's flat economy hurt what would be a phenomenal resort area. Although you get alot of Yankee hunters and fisherman.:)
Lots of rock faces near Kenora, it may be less interesting in the middle between Kenora and T.Bay but with thousands of lakes and endless forest it's still pretty cool..

Yes but all the cool stuff if off the highway and drivers, as we all know, are lazy.

The Sawtooths are beautiful though.

Funny. People basing opinions on driving through Saskatchewan along the Trans-Canada... and I've always found the rolling hills ALONG the Trans Canada west of Swift Current to be VERY scenic. Those sand dunes are called the Great Sand Hills, right?

Really every province in Canada could do with some place to disprove their stereotypes. To most Canadians BC = Rockies, AB = foothiles, SASK & MAN = praries, flat, ONT = big city in south and endless forst in north, QUE = hills, st. lawerence, NL = little abandoned towns, barren, MA = fishermen, lobster, ocean.

Some nice pictures though of Saskatchewan in this thread :tup:
