Finally, someone showcasing Saskatchewan. Indeed it's not flat. Go north to Prince Albert, Gateway to the North. Prince Albert National Park is awesome.
lived in saskatchewan for two years. did a drive through the southern portion from southeast corner of saskatchewan to the grasslands park. beautiful country.
@@ExploreTheBackcountry Strange but good seeing you guys entirely on dry land. Great sunsets and you’ve got to love that prairie country, an ocean of grass. If you ever get to New Zealand (my home) you should do the Tongariro crossing around three volcanoes on our alpine desert plateau I’m sure you’d appreciate it. Thanks for the upload.
6:55 When you forget that knees can bend 😆(I do it too). Really cool you guys...hard to believe the boreal forest and so much water is not far away. That one "tree" felt so precious. Awesome vibe, vid, and change of scenery
Really enjoyed this video guys. One of the many hidden gems in Canada. I think if more people visited this park instead of driving though Saskatchewan on the transcanada they would have a new appreciation for that beautiful province. We haven’t done the trail in the west park but after watching this we’ll have to go back there and complete that trail. Awesome work as always.
I live in Manitoba so it is very interesting to hear the experience of someone coming from Ontario. Thank you for reopening my eyes to the wonders of the prairies.
Nice seeing my backyard on youtube! Whenever I hike out, I don't usually look at the prairies though. (Seen enough to last a lifetime!) My favorite thing to do is to look up at the stars as Grasslands National is one of Canada's designated Sky Sanctuaries.
Just kicker you two are out exploring a little of the prairies, enjoying it too! Far too many people under rate and under estimate the beauty of the prairies. They cannot be compared to anything else, like you can't compare two sports...football and hockey are both awesome, but uncomparable. As a backpacker myself, I have to ask...how do you like it? Thanks for sharing your Dash!!! - Davey.
Awesome! Never thought I'd get to watch a video of you guys trekking through my old home province! I lived in the "flat part" for 20 years before moving to Northern Ontario.
Quite the departure from the Canadian Shield. Glad you are enjoying the variety of landscapes Canada has to offer. Looking forward to the rest of your trip/Honeymoon?
Next video is back to rock, although we didn't really miss it with this breathtaking landscape. The final backcountry destination of our trip. We did a bunch of frontcountry, some boondocking and some lodge stays too that didn't make it for the video.
That was incredibly beautiful! It kind of reminded me of my time in western Nebraska. Very windy and grassy. The prairie dogs were really cool. They live like people in retirement communities in Florida 😆
HAHA! Now that's too funny. I can't un-see that now. We returned via the states - just frontcountry so no videos - went through the Black Hills, but I did take US20 a few years ago to get to Casper WY, so I'd have to concur!
@@ExploreTheBackcountry you two did a wonderful job documenting and showing the beautiful prairie landscape. Saskatchewan has so much variety to offer outdoors people and relatively easy access to most south of Prince Albert. Northern Saskatchewan is a real Gem, such a vast amount of options and obviously memorable scenery as well. ( I was fortunate to grow up on the Prairie but have a few cabins in some of Saskatchewan's varying and beautiful landscape including the north) But because of that, Southern Sask often doesn't get the love it deserves and you two did it justice ❤️, thank you. Would love to see you back!
I've watched all of your on the water videos and enjoyed almost all of them. I would guess you know that there is a Badlands that is huge and extremely rugged in western South Dakota. Actually straight south from the southeast corner of Saskatchewan. Also huge grassland. Geologically connected? Nice job.... if you haven't', I'd do a quick search of South Dakota Badlands. Thanks guys...a generic term.
Thanks Joe! Highly recommend a visit, don't think you'll be disappointed with a trip here. Even the drives in and around the park are something! Enjoy your trip, happy planning.
Thanks so much for showing me a part of Canada I would not otherwise have ever seen. Thanks for sharing! By the way, any idea when the series "Where the Water Begins" will be available?
I started working on it again last night I probably have a few weeks or so of work left on it. So I'm sure, but I'm hoping fairly soon as I'd love to put that project behind me.
Gotta say, I’m a little disappointed you didn’t portage a canoe through this. 😀 Seriously, I was just telling the gf, that I finally got to go real wild camping for two nights, that one place I’d love to go is the grass lands park. Maybe I’ll show her this.
Haha! Now that would have been something. We felt a bit out of place parking the truck topped with a decked canoe there though. It's a great park. You won't be disappointed with camping out there. Lot's of options too.

Thank you for capturing such great majesty I may not otherwise see!
I’m watching this while sweltering in the heat and humidity of North Queensland, Australia. ❤ Canada 🇨🇦
Quite the difference here; our lake just froze over! Stay cool!

Thanks my man! We've gotta get you out of Ontario at least once to sample a change of scenery too! 😆
@@ExploreTheBackcountry 😆
Nice looking country. Can you imagine what it would have looked like populated with buffalo? Spectacular.
They have been reintroducing them to the park since 2005! No where near historic numbers, but they are around a few corners of the west block.
Very interesting video. This area is all new to me.
Great adventure friends🙌, way to display the beauty of the Prairies. We really enjoyed this one😃

Fun to see you two hiking for a change - what a beautiful landscape, I feel like it's easy to breath with all that space out there ❤️
Thanks my man! You really feel tiny and insignificant out there with all the wide open space. Definitely have to get back one day. Amazing.
I live in Manitoba so it is very interesting to hear the experience of someone coming from Ontario. Thank you for reopening my eyes to the wonders of the prairies.
Loved the prairies! Was such a unique experience and we will definitely be back at some point in time. So much to see in this country!
Awesome video!
Oh wow that's really different terrain. Thanks for sharing!
Quite a bit different from what we're used to! Thanks for watching.
What a change of scenery from Ontario! Great editing. Always enjoy the backcountry cocktails segments!
Beautiful region! What a cool trip
Pretty unique! Exceeded our expectations too!
Thank you guys for such an expiring and relaxing video. I wish you have more subscribers and thumbs up. Love you. Good luck.
Thank you so much! It's quite the place to experience, you feel really small out there in the big sky country.

The skies were amazing. Such broad horizons for stargazing. We had the fly off overnight to fall asleep under the bright stars.

Saskatchewan was my fav place we visited on our big cross Canada trip. Pure magic
Awesome! Never thought I'd get to watch a video of you guys trekking through my old home province! I lived in the "flat part" for 20 years before moving to Northern Ontario.
Big thumbs up.
Thanks!
Great to see you two out on an adventure again, interesting landscape. Thanks for taking us along. --MARLYS

Thanks David! Southern Saskatchewan was really something! Definitely want to get back that way, and further north, at some point.

It's always such a treat. This one so different, enriching your franchise ;) Please keep doing stuff
Thanks! Was quite the experience. Always blown away by the scenery in this Country. Thanks for watching!
Great Video! I hope you spent some time canoeing in northern Saskatchewan.
Thanks Gil! Unfortunately not on this western trip, but I have had my eyes on a few possible routes up that way. Probably only a matter of time....
Excellent video. I was just researching this area a few months ago for a possible trip next summer. Now I want to do the trip even more.
Thanks Joe! Highly recommend a visit, don't think you'll be disappointed with a trip here. Even the drives in and around the park are something! Enjoy your trip, happy planning.
Big wide open country.. wow..
You feel really tiny out there!
Thanks
You're most welcome Tony!

@@ExploreTheBackcountry I know! I saw that one shot where you pulled in with the canoe. Totally looked like you were completely lost or something. 😀😀
been a while
Yeah, haven't had as much free time to edit of late. Hoping that changes now that the snow is piling up here....
