The Canadian Prairies

The Canadian Prairies are usually referred to as simply The Prairies in Canada. The Prairies consist of a huge, flat area that covers most of the Canadian provinces of Alberta

, Saskatchewan

and Manitoba.

There are many endless fields of wheat and sunflowers and locals tend to joke that the Rocky Mountains are nice, but they 'get in the way of the view'.

There are several interesting places to visit in the prairies area. Located in Alberta

, not far from Fort Macleod, is the Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, a Blackfoot Indian heritage site.

Saskatchewan

is home to several national parks, the largest of which is Prince Albert National Park. The province features numerous rivers that offer a large number of canoe routes. An interesting town is Yorkton, just north of the Crooked Lake Provincial Park.

The Manitoba prairies include the Riding Mountain National Park, a 3000 km² large area where bison roam freely.
