We could see the Saskatchewan provincial border sign from miles away on the flat, open prairie and when we finally reached it we had to get out and get a picture beside it (standing on top of our Chrysler ‘Tripp’er’ van of course!). It was an auspicious start to a journey through the province that surprised us the most on our entire trip across the country. Far more than just a big, boring patch of farmland Saskatchewan is full of wonderful surprises. Who would have thought that the province boasts gorgeous scenery (other than prairie), fantastic people and dynamic culture, not to mention great food, vibrant cities and an energized youth. There is so much there to do and enjoy that you will no doubt be as happily surprised as we were.
