Welcome to Saskatchewan - Land of Lilies and Long Lariats

The sheer size of the endless sky streaked with flaming sunrise and sunsets or the riotous colour of dancing northern lights give an inkling of the endless possibilities of Saskatchewan.
 
This province is home to sprawling family ranches whose brands have marked cattle and horses for over a century. Wild areas dotted with ancient buffalo jumps, boulder effigies and medicine wheels guarded by the prairie still exist untouched by the plough. Treasured native grasses and cultivated crops stretching to the horizon, vibrant First Nations culture that embraces the past and the future and the down-to-earth, welcoming nature of the people are all hallmarks of this great province.
 
This is a vast area with nearest neighbours measured in miles, not mere feet. A place of warm summer nights, the lonesome call of the coyote and the joyous sounds and flights of countless songbirds punctuate the fresh, clean air. On Saskatchewan guest ranches, guests can ride for miles without encountering a fence and enjoy a taste of authentic ranch life as it has been lived by generations. You can ride for pure pleasure or join in with the ranch work of moving cattle on beautifully trained horses over wild prairie. Enjoy entertainment around a campfire, hay rides in the summer and scrumptious meals.

Amenities can range from a beautifully appointed room in the main ranch house to the serenity of a lakefront cabin. On special trips or by special arrangement, guests can enjoy the authenticity of camping in a warm canvas wall tent, complete with comfy cots and a wood burning stove.
 
Saskatchewan is home to many of the greats, from bucking horses to top professional cowboys and boasts the largest national park devoted to what ranchers and cowboys cherish the most; native grass.
