Quintessential Saskatchewan, but not flat and not boring! Just get off the Trans-Canada Highway!
Grasslands National Park的点评
点评：This is the only place in Canada apparently to see prairie dogs. This park hosts their northernmost habitat. The Top Dogtown Trail at the beginning of the Ecotour road and also the Larson colony near the end host prairie dog metropolises, i.e. a lot of black-tailed prairie dogs, you can spend a lot of time admiring their cuteness! You can observe their behaviour such as kissing to identify their family group.
There are a lot of bison in the park, but at the time of our visit, we only saw one just behind the Larson homestead.
The Ecotour road, the road to 70 Mile Butte, and the road to the East Block are unpaved and our tire got flat as we hit a tiny, sharp metallic object (apparently electrical equipment fragment) along the Ecotour road. Well that sucks. Thankfully the Val Marie visitor centre helped us greatly and Glen, the local mechanic, helped us get back on the road and complete our Prairie trip safely!
The Eagle Butte and 70 Mile Butte Trails are apparently great for sunset views and boy, the lady at the visitor centre did not disappoint! The sunset was epic! Then immediately after that, as we exited the park gate of 70 mile Butte trail, we heard packs of coyotes howling. That scared my family but I found it interesting!
Unfortunately we didn't get to stay during total darkness as we stayed in a hotel at Swift Current. Apparently this is the darkest dark sky preserve in Canada, so I guess that is a perfect place to see the Milky way and northern lights! Also the drive to Swift Current was definitely a struggle. Plenty of deer on the side and possibly crossing out of the blue, and owls living their "thug life" standing in the middle of the road! Would not recommend driving along Highway 4 during nighttime!
The East Block has a paved drive, the Badlands Parkway. It is one-lane road with pullouts. There are a lot of blind spots there and in some pullouts we can't see ahead. So, one time, we encountered a car and we had to reverse back to the nearest pullout, a significant distance away. That was unfortunate. But the views from each of the viewpoints were gorgeous! Especially the last two, Mauvais Terres and Ta Sunka Watogla.
So essentially, this represents what a true prairie is. The skies here are particularly bigger and different from the rest of the country. This hosts the last true, undisturbed grassland of Canada. The big buttes and the badlands of this park show that Saskatchewan is neither flat nor boring, and you won't see your dog run away to the horizon for 3 days.
I wish people would divert off Trans-Canada to see the true beauty of Saskatchewan.

翻译：这是加拿大唯一可以看到土拨鼠的地方。这个公园拥有他们最北端的栖息地。 Ecotour公路起点的Top Dogtown Trail和终点附近的Larson colony栖息着土拨鼠群，即大量的黑尾土拨鼠，你可以花很多时间欣赏它们的可爱！您可以观察他们的行为，例如接吻，以确定他们的家庭群体。
公园里有很多野牛，但在我们参观时，我们只在拉森宅基地后面看到一头野牛。
Ecotour 道路、通往 70 Mile Butte 的道路和通往 East Block 的道路都未铺砌，我们的轮胎在 Ecotour 道路上撞到一个微小、尖锐的金属物体（显然是电气设备碎片）时爆胎。好吧，这很糟糕。值得庆幸的是，Val Marie 游客中心给了我们很大的帮助，当地的机械师 Glen 帮助我们重新上路，安全地完成了我们的草原之旅！
Eagle Butte 和 70 Mile Butte Trails 显然是欣赏日落美景的好去处，游客中心的女士果然没有让人失望！日落是史诗般的！紧接着，当我们离开 70 英里 Butte 步道的公园大门时，我们听到成群的土狼在嚎叫。这吓坏了我的家人，但我发现它很有趣！
不幸的是，我们住在 Swift Current 的一家旅馆里，没能在完全黑暗的时候留下来。显然这是加拿大最黑暗的黑暗天空保护区，所以我想这是观看银河和北极光的完美地点！此外，转向 Swift Current 的过程绝对是一场斗争。路边有很多鹿，可能会突然穿越，猫头鹰站在路中间过着“暴徒生活”！不建议在夜间沿 Highway 4 行驶！
东区有一条柏油路，即 Badlands Parkway。这是一条带停靠点的单车道道路。那里有很多盲点，在一些撤退处我们看不到前方。因此，有一次，我们遇到了一辆车，我们不得不倒车回到最近的停车点，距离很远。那是不幸的。但是每个观点的观点都很棒！特别是最后两个，Mauvais Terres 和 Ta Sunka Watogla。
所以从本质上讲，这代表了真正的草原。这里的天空特别大，与该国其他地方不同。这里拥有加拿大最后一片真正的、未受干扰的草原。这个公园的大山丘和荒地表明萨斯喀彻温省既不平坦也不乏味，3 天都不会看到你的狗跑到地平线。
我希望人们能改道横贯加拿大，去看看萨斯喀彻温省的真正美景。
