Grasslands National Park is Canada’s first and largest<br />
preserve of prairie parkland. The West Block, centering on<br />
the Frenchman River Valley, is ideal for Front Country Hiking<br />
on built paths or marked routes. You may see or hear the<br />
rare Black-tailed Prairie Dog on your way! The East Block of<br />
the park, near Wood Mountain and home to the Killdeer<br />
Badlands, offers a challenge to even the most seasoned<br />
hiker, backcountry camping, as well as stunning and<br />
unexpected vistas.<br />
Vacationers, something like armies, tend to travel on their<br />
stomachs, so it’s fortunate there are so many culinary<br />
choices in southwest <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>! Just a few of the<br />
culinary delights are the Star Café & Grill, the Rockin’ Horse<br />
Cookhouse & Bar and Redmond House B & B & Dining<br />
Establishment in Maple Creek. The only commercial vineyard<br />
on the prairies is the Cypress Hills Vineyard and Winery,<br />
located just 20 km south of Maple Creek. The wine they<br />
make from homegrown and imported grapes, plus<br />
<strong>Saskatchewan</strong> berries and fruit, wins accolades and awards<br />
The area around Maple Creek offers many attractive options<br />
for day trippers or longer-term visitors, including a variety of<br />
accommodations ranging from cabins at Willowbend<br />
Campground or Eagle Valley Campground, to a Condo at<br />
Cypress Park Resort Inn.<br />
The Crossing Resort near Val Marie welcomes travelers with<br />
tents, RV units, or camper vans, and can provide two<br />
comfortable private suites. Rent a tipi for a truly unique<br />
holiday experience, or bring along your horse and take<br />
advantage of their “bed and bale” service. Or, also near Val<br />
Marie is Rosefield Church Guest House B&B. This selfcontained<br />
“little house on the prairie” is off the grid,<br />
generating its own wind and solar energy.<br />
Give yourself a treat and come visit the Cypress Hills/<br />
Grasslands for an afternoon, a weekend or a full vacation.<br />
You’ll find that your childhood dreams of “the old wild west”<br />
really do exist -- and they’re waiting for you in southwest<br />
