If you’re looking for the perfect Christmas gift that will keep giving for years to come, what could be better than a copy of Saskatchewan’s Best Scenic Drives, Revised Edition, new this year? Better yet, what if you could win your own free copy, that you could either give as a gift or keep for yourself?
Saskatchewan is tailor-made for backroad exploring. We have more roads than any province in Canada -— enough to circle the equator four times. Possibilities are mind-boggling, from drives through spectacular river valleys to sweeping natural grasslands, lake-studded boreal forest, wild badlands, some of Canada’s largest sand dunes, breathtaking viewpoints, little-known hideaways, and historic treasures. We not only show you these and many more awesome places, but also help you get there with directions and GPS coordinates. See our post describing the book.

I like driving in the hilly areas of Saskatchewan
The Borden area and the Sask River valley
Hello again Elke – nice to hear from you. Good luck in the contest.
I like to drive through the Cypress Hills
Driving to St. Nicholas Church in the Qu’Appelle Valley is a hidden gem. Definitely a place to see in more than one season or even at different times of the day!
The drive from Prince Albert North to Waskesiu and in and around the park. I need to get farther north yet as I bet there is lots of photos to be taken up there.
I love the Esker drive by Lower Fishing Lake in Narrow Hills Provincial Park
I really like driving the Gap Road between the Centre Block and West Block of Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park and then up the switchbacks to Fort Walsh and also west on the Ranger Station Road and Battle Creek Road.
I love the drive through Prince Albert National Park best.
The hilly drive south of Duck Mountain Provincial park
This year I discovered the cypress hill and it was so beautiful.
Candle Lake to La Ronge through Narrow Hills Provincial Park and Gem Lakes
I love the drive to Meadow Lake
My absolute favorite drive is the one heading south from Maple Creek when you get close to the Cypress Hills & then following the road(s)/trails through the park. I’ve driven it so many times & yet I always feel a sense of wonder & pure joy as I enter the park area.
The drive from any area that finishes\s up with a ferry crossing at Riverhurst or the Herbert Ferry or the Birsay area with its spiky mountain shapes … have a meal at the Mainstay Inn before descending into Palliser Park with a view of rolling grain fields all around you … Saskatchewan at its very best … for travellers who say it is all so flat it has to be seen to be believed! I could go on and on!
Well said Merle.
Any where they grow Canola is pretty.
This summer we drove to Castle Butte. It was spectacular!
Enjoy Northern SK, heading toward LaRonge and the area around there.
I enjoy the drive towards Porcupine Plain especially in the fall when the tamarack are turning.
Highway 3 from PA to the Alberta border is scenic
Highway 13 – love the abandoned buildings and ghost towns.
Willow Bunch to St. Victor in the provincial park.
I really love highway 44 between Glidden and Eston. Expansive fields and a long S curve
I am from Germany, so I am impressed by the solitude and the expansiveness of Saskatchewan highways.
One of our favourite drives is from Saskatoon to Cypress Hills Park and area. A most awesome anomaly with many absolutely breathtaking sights.
Lake Diefenbaker travels are some of my favourites!
Naturally.
I love so many drives throughout Saskatchewan but the gorgeous Big Muddy is one of my favourites…the beauty of the landscape, the rolling hills, and the history. It’s cowboy country..
I love driving in the open prairie when I can see the touchwood hills in the distance .. especially during harvest.
We really enjoyed the drive from Eastend through the Frenchman Valley. Beautiful.
When our son and daughter were growing up we loved driving to many places in Saskatchewan to go camping with our tent! One of my favourite places was driving to Moose Mountain Provincial Park. So many beautiful nature sites to see! :)
Driving through Qu’Appelle Valley, especially early fall.
I love the open prairie with the never ending skies. Thanks
Love wandering through the Qu’Appelle valley, during the different seasons.
I like the drive to Eagle Creek from Highway #14 Open fields and then the Eagle Creek valley
We want to explore more of southwestern and southern Saskatchewan along the Redcoat Trail.
Driving through Douglas Provincial Park
I have a few favourite places to drive as I live by Lake Diefenbaker but I love driving around in Prince Albert National Park in the fall.
