Big Sand Hills

Drop anchor here and step ashore to explore one of Saskatchewan's most dramatic landscapes — active sand dunes rising out of native grassland in the middle of the Canadian prairies. Stretching across roughly 1,900 sq. km, the Great Sand Hills feel genuinely unexpected, like a desert that wandered far from home. You'll want time to walk the dunes and take it all in.
