More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Pull onto the Trans‑Canada and let the prairie open up—low horizons, wind farms turning like slow metronomes, and the highway pulling you through towns that grew around the railroad. The car becomes a small theater: your smartphone supplies a raconteur, cueing stories as mile markers pass and inviting detours where the road narrows and the land gets older.
