Active Sand Dunes in the Prairies? | The Great Sandhills | Saskatchewan Canada 【4K】

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2024
- The Great Sandhills contain one of the largest set of active sand dunes in Canada.
It is a protected area and lies within the Great Sandhills Ecological Reserve in southwest Saskatchewan.
The sand was deposited around 12,000 years ago when the glaciers that covered this region began to recede.
Covering 1,900 square kilometers the hills are always moving and create an ever-changing landscape.
Home to native grasses, abundant wildlife, the Ord’s Kangaroo Rat and many species of birds the sandhills are a paradise for bird watching and nature photography.
The other areas you can find sand dunes are at Douglas Provincial Park and the most well known the Athabasca Sand Dunes in northwest Saskatchewan.
Make sure you put the quality up to 4K or as high as your display will go for the full experience.

This was a very cool spot to experience that I never knew much about until recently. We always heard of the most famous Athabasca Sand Dunes in the north that are very difficult to access but there are other spots to see sand dunes in Saskatchewan. These Great Sandhills and there are more at Douglas Provincial Park a bit further to the east. I hope you enjoyed this I sure did. Thank you!
We have sand dunes here in BC too! In Osoyoos a semi-desert environment.
Another excellent video Wade!

Great Cinematic Footage,You have my Like

What an awesome location, Wade. Never thought you would find such sand dunes in Canada. Fantastic drone shots and great video, my friend. And thanks for all the info about this place.👏👍
Thanks! It is a great location. Yes a lot would not realize the different areas we have. Just need to get out and explore and it is amazing what can be found.

Interesting place to explore. Never thought that there are Sand Dunes in Canada. Awesome , it’s like you’re walking in the middle of the desert. Nice footage while you were walking with the beautiful sky as background!
Yes it was a great spot. Love finding unique areas like this. There are 3 separate areas that I know of that have sand Dunes just in saskatchewan not sure about elsewhere in Canada. It was a beautiful day with a beautiful prairie sky. Thanks for watching!
Nice work Wade
Thank you!
A fantastic area...had the pleasure of being able to get out that way when I was living in Saskatoon...you really have showcased the area well. You need to introduce your channel to the local tourism bureau! Just great...keep yourself well now and have a wonderful weekend!
Yea it was great really enjoyed it there. All I try is to bring some knowledge to all these interesting places. So many spots people are unaware about. Have a great weekend!
Your videos are always very professional!😍👍14
Thanks very much I appreciate that! 😀
That's really cool. I had no idea Saskachewan had some of the largest sand dunes in Canada. Thanks for the share.
Yea these ones are cool and easily accessible. Might be a bit tricky to find but the biggest are in the north Athabasca Sand Dunes but not easy to access. Take care.
Beautiful place
Yes it was a great location. 😀
Wow that is an amazing place and the drone footage…spectacular. Jorja loves this too!
Yes it is a very cool spot for sure. Thanks!
That much sand! And its color is simply amazing.
Yes it was a fascinating area for sure! Very surprising when I saw it for the first time.
Wow, thats so cool, I would've never guess you were in Canada. Thanks for the adventure 👍👍 Take Care 😊
Haha yea it doesn't really look like it but just goes to show how much there is to experience here. It is not just the snow and cold haha.
Awesome cinematic music to lift this production. Great sand dunes. You think you are in the Sahara Desert. Great video Wade. Have a great weekend.
Thanks very much! Yes it is a very cool spot. So many unique areas all around and more to show coming up. Take care.
wow looks impressive, good location for pictorials hehe
Yes very cool spot to explore and awesome day!
stunning..i love canada every province has something unreal
Thanks! Yes it really does. Endless things to see.
Right near my hometown, where I was born and raised. Awesome video!
Very cool! It was an awesome place to check out! 👍
SuchApeacefulWorld
Yes it is a great area.
Excellent video tour of this strange and fascinating landscape. Ive not seen anything like it, those big lumps of sand seem out of place somehow. Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend cheers from Barnyz
Thanks very much! It was very interesting indeed. They are definately out of place when you see the prairies all around. Take care!
It's a very nice youtube video.
It's very interesting for me, who lives in a rural village in Japan. Have a nice week
Thanks very much! I enjoyed my time out there and glad you enjyed! Take care!
Would never imagine something like that in Canada, it’s so random and fascinating at the same time, just doesn’t look like it should be there 😂 keep up the epic work mate always enjoy the production quality of your videos 😁
Lots of random areas out there I have been finding haha but yea it was for sure an interesting spot. Thanks for checking it out I always appreciate it. Have a good one!
Amazing what a glacier can do.
What a surreal location. Great job putting this one together Wade. 👍🍀
Yes for sure a very unique location and always interesting to learn the information and history. Love finding all these places. Thanks very much!
Exploring with Wade coming to you live from the Western dunes of the mighty Sahara! LOL. Cool place. I was waiting for the dust storm and the Mummy! Awesome video highlighting the area. It is pretty unique to see these dunes pop up in unlikely places. We have a few areas like it here in Utah. Have a great day.
Haha it definitely feels out of place driving in to them. So many of these unique places to visit scattered all over. Thanks for stopping by. Take care!
Awessssssomeee
Thanks!
Hi Wade! My wife and I have talked about going there. I didn't know about it either until anther local channel mentioned it to me. Great showing! Well done, my friend 👍. Big like and full play. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend 😀.
Nice! It is worth the visit when you can. Try and go when there is no rain. The road and area will get very hard to access I imagine when wet since part of the road you drive in on is that same sand and very soft. Have a great one! 😀👍
@@ExploringwithWade Thanks for the tips. Take care
I lived in Alberta, and now sask, i have yet to see these dunes but love this video thank you!
It is worth a visit. Very unique place in the prairies. Thanks so much!
Nice video buddy, I've never know that there is sand hill in Saskatchewan. very informative introduction, coincidently I uploaded the badland (in Brampton Ontario) video in my channel recently. Thanks very much for sharing!❤
Yes there are a few areas. The big sand Dunes are in the north. Very cool I will be checking more of your videos soon. Have a great day!
I've been considering driving there and taking a visit. I'm fascinated by this!
Additionally, your drone shots and videography skills are amazing! You're such an inspiration!!! Any problems with taking your drone in this area?
It is a very cool spot and looks so out of place.
Thank you very much! No signs or restrictions that I am aware of and I use a small mini 2. As long as not reckless and with almost no one around all should be good out there.
That is completely amazing! I love it. I had no idea about such a phenomenon over there, but it's absolutely gorgeous and so strange to see.
There are a few places with sand Dunes in some odd places. Great place to explore. Have a great day! Thanks 👍
Never thought there was a place like this in the west. great video, very informative. we are use to seeing white sand here in Nova scotia on our beaches. I was surprised to see this. Awesome Cinematic
I think a lot wouldn't realize that these places exist here. Fun to find and explore. Thanks! This sand was even softer and finer than beach sand.
Hello my friend ! it's amazing! It's wonderful video! It's a very strange place! It's unclear why the dunes were formed in the grasslands, but I was very surprised! And I read your
commentary and understood why! It's wonderful! Nice upload! And it's great high quality video! I really like it! Thank you for sharing! Have a nice day!
Hi there! Yes it is a very unique and strange spot when seeing it for the first time. Great place to explore for the day. Thanks for dropping by! 😀
Wow! ❤️ The Great Sandhills are gorgeous!!❤️❤️❤️ The color, the scale, everything it`s so beautiful! ❤️ When i think in Canada I think in forest landscapes, I never thought these sandy landscapes existed ^^
Thank you so much! They are very beautiful and just awesome to see where you wouldn't think they should be. Canada has such a variety of landscapes. We have it all if you are willing to explore.
Nicely done 👌....Great upload!stay connected,new friend here
Thanks very much! Have a great week.
This is so interesting. I would love to photograph birds there. When you said in the title sand hills, there is a place similar here in the mid west that I would love to see someday. Lots of birds migrate through that area.
Yes it would be nice if I had more time there. It is a great place for photography. Just an odd looking place compared to the surroundings. There are so many unique places like this around. Thanks.
Hi Wade.. gotta say this is the most random remarkable thing I've seen I don't know if deserts are sand or not but sand dunes in all my experience are in ocean lands, this is incredible that these giant sand dunes are here..wow I'm mind blown thanks so much for sharing..
And to answer your question if I saw this on Instagram I'd Instantly assume you were at a beach ⛱,
That sky though was stunning really gorgeous area
Yes they are very random in a place you wouldn't think they should be. Awesome place to explore. Loved it there. Thanks for watching!
@@ExploringwithWade +My pleasure and totally agree ., thats what makes it so special its an remarkble place thats in a location one least expects :)
Nice video. Like end sub.
Thank you very much! 😀
素晴らしい、日本から拍手👍
Good from Japan.
I subbed you.
Nice day!
Hi there thanks for the visit! My trip to Japan was canceled back in May 2020. I hope to go someday soon.
another drone masterpiece, I share Your opinion: if sb thinks Canada - he doesn't expect such sandy landscapes including me before watching Your film
Thank you very much for the nice words. There is such a variety of landscapes all over. You can find almost any type around here. Very fun to explore. Have a great weekend! 👍😀
As you say, the landscape is so different from what we would expect to see in Canada (our familiarity is in Ontario and B.C.).
So many unique areas and landscapes to see all through the prairies. So many cool locations to find. Thanks!
what's the address here and is it accessible by RV or van
I have been in the desert/badlands here often as you know, but no sand dunes...
Yes for sure love the badlands terrain. I have some of that coming up in future videos also. Take care!
Νο wind noise at all wade, if you named this video Namimbia Africa i would have bought it😁
Haha yea it definitely looks different. So many unique areas like this around when you look.
Interesting place great scenery too good work again HJ ( xplorer llttf ) and you mentioned june 7th as an open day for you is that still good for you? Lmk you can gmail me . Ed has your email set to go thanks
Yea I like these places. Fun to find and explore around. Thanks and I will send another email. Have a good one!
I have heard that it was forbidden to walk on the dunes in Canada because they are protected.
No that is not true at this spot. You are free to explore and walk on them. People even have sleds to slide down them. Obviously you respect the location but it is not forbidden to walk on them.
3 ppl need glasses
Haha yea I picked up a few that don't like what I do I guess oh well it's all good. 😀
