Horseback Riding in Prince Albert National Park with Sturgeon River Ranch [Photo Essay]
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 8 December 2011
If you’re from Saskatchewan, chances are there’s a little cowboy running through your blood. Be it the whimsical nature that we seem to have when it comes to long road trips (ie “It’s only an 8 hour drive, easy as pie!), or the general love affair most prairie folk seem to have with country music.

Relax in the Little Resort Town of Manitou Beach, Saskatchewan
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 1 December 2011
In the 1800′s, First nations tribes were being wiped out at an alarming rate by the european settlers. War, disease, and famine were tearing apart an entire civilization. For most of those who came down with smallpox, death followed soon thereafter. However, there were exceptions.

Photo Du Jour – Sunsets, Power Lines, and Saskatchewan Silhouettes
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 21 October 2011
After being surrounded by the the tall (but increadibly awesome) trees of Ontario for a while, coming to Saskatchewan was a breathe of wide open air. I borrowed some family wheels and hit the road running. Touring this province is no easy task.

Sunday Canadian Travel Video: A Saskatchewan Sunset
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 7 August 2011
One of the things I miss most about my home province of Saskatchewan is catching the famous Saskatchewan sunsets. There’s a reason why they call this province the “Land of the Living Skies”. Matthew Garand managed to capture a piece of that, so hats off to him for that. Despite the beauty of this time [...]Sunday Canadian Travel Video: A Saskatchewan Sunset is a post from: I Backpack Canada

My Guide to Food in Saskatchewan
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 9 May 2011
The mighty province of Saskatchewan, famously known for its boxy shape, flat lands, and its notorious habit for being spelt wrong by nearly everyone (including myself), is surprisingly full of a wide variety of food. While some of it is unique to Saskatchewan, much of the food has been accumulated and passed on from different cultures who’ve [...]My Guide to Food in Saskatchewan is a post from: I Backpack Canada

Ice Fishing Saskatchewans Last Mountain Lake
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 15 January 2011
My old man and I had been planning on getting some fishing in while I was home in Saskatchewan; however, the weather wasn’t behaving. Winds were gusting like crazy and causing the windchill to drop below -40 degrees celcius. Fortunate for me, the weather let up eventually, which gave us the opportunity to hurry out [...]Ice Fishing Saskatchewans Last Mountain Lake is a post from: I Backpack Canada

The Canadian 2: Melville to Toronto
Blog: Aerohaveno: A Travel Blog - 17 September 2010
Here are some images from the second part of my 4,466 km train journey from Vancouver to Toronto on VIA Rail's flagship service, The Canadian... 1.

Northern Saskatchewan Fishing Trip: Part 2
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 8 July 2010
I awoke with the smell of last nights campfire covering me, I breathed in, savoring it. I love that smell. The boys and I played catchup with the old man. He was already on his second cup of campfire-coffee, rancid stuff, but good in a pinch. We got our gear hauled back into our water chariot. I [...]

Northern Saskatchewan Fishing Trip: Part 1
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 5 July 2010
As highway 6 stretched further North, the small towns that were so frequent began to be replaced by lush vistas of the boreal forest. It’s funny how easy it is to forget that there is more to Saskatchewan than just farms and prairies. Saskatchewan is after all larger than France, and nobody mistakes France for [...]

The Tunnels of Moose Jaw are filled with Half-Truths and Lies
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 14 February 2010
Moose Jaw is a small city in south-central Saskatchewan. It’s 71 km west of Regina. Throughout Saskatchewan, Moose Jaw is known as a retirement and tourist city, and is more or less a central hub for farms and small rural communities surrounding the area. For as long as I can remember, Moose Jaw has been [...]

6 reasons why Saskatchewan Doesn’t Suck
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 1 February 2010
Saskatchewan is probably one of the least visited provinces in Canada. Most people only know Saskatchewan for the #1 highway which get’s you from one end to the other in roughly 7 hours. It unfortunately gets a bad rap from other Canadians, whom occasionally define it as boring, flat, plain, and dull. All of which [...]
