UPCOMING EVENTS 2003
Wind your way through a wide range of landscapes, from the postcard scenes of the Qu’Appelle Valley to the unusual rock formations of Roche Percee in the Souris Valley, to the high country plateau of Moose Mountain, which rises from the surrounding rolling plains to form an oasis of dense forest.
The broad Qu’Appelle Valley extends right across the region. Its rugged hills with fluted folds provide a stunning backdrop to natural areas like Echo Valley, Katepwa and Crooked Lake Provincial Parks. Rowan’s Ravine Provincial Park is located on Last Mountain Lake, also within the Qu’Appelle Valley basin.
The historic attractions are as varied as the scenery, from an 1860s Hudson’s Bay Company post in Fort Qu’Appelle to the province’s first Hungarian settlement at Kaposvar, near Esterhazy, and remnants of the fur trade at Last Mountain House. And discover why a British captain with lofty ideals dreamed of transplanting the genteel lifestyle of Victorian England to Cannington Manor.
The winter season brings plenty of opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors, from downhill skiing in the Qu’Appelle Valley to beautiful cross-country trails in Echo Valley and Moose Mountain Provincial Park, and maintained snowmobile trails.
There’s something for everyone in southeast Saskatchewan, from the relaxing pace of a farm vacation to the urban attractions of Estevan, Weyburn or Regina, beach life, nature walks, trail rides, golf, skiing and scenic valley drives.
