The Seven Wonders of Saskatchewan

The Seven Wonders of Saskatchewan are some of the most beautiful places in the world. They have never even been heard of by most people that live in the province. They are something that every tourist should see. The wonders are mostly hidden away in forested area but some are around you everyday.

These are some of the questions we came up with for The Seven Wonders Of Saskatchewan.

What are the seven wonders of Saskatchewan?

Who came up with the name?

Where are they located?

How did they decide on what the wonders are?

When were they made?

The Seven Wonders of Saskatchewan are located throughout Saskatchewan. The Athabasca sandunes are located far up north and have very limited life. They are the farthest north desert in the world and were made by the retreat of the last ice glacier. The Nistowiak Falls is in a completely forested area and has many rapid rivers. They have some of the oldest cave drawings in the world. The falls are not very big but have extremely fast rapids. The Big Muddy Badlands is a 4 kilometre wide valley. It is 11 000 years old and was home to some of the craziest outlaws in North America. The main life there is sage plants, wolf willow, cacti, eagles and the rare vulture. The Saskatchewan sky is the most beautiful sky in the world it has the most unique changes and is full of life. It also brings some of the strangest weather in the world. Clearwater River is the oldest and one of the biggest rivers in Saskatchewan. It flows up north and eventually into the Arctic Ocean. Last Mountain is the biggest bird sanctuary in Canada. It has 280 species of birds that go there from year to year. It is all wetlands and parries. Cypress Hills is in both Saskatchewan and Alberta. It is a provincial park and has many popular campgrounds. The grass there has never been cultivated and is always fresh.

            The name The Seven Wonders of Saskatchewan was thought of by park rangers, the people of Saskatchewan and scientists. It was thought of so that people would take a better look of Saskatchewan and so it wouldn’t be thought of as a boring province. The name has caught much attention and the wonders are being well noticed.

            The wonders are located all over the province and one is around us every day. Some go into other provinces or even countries. The Cypress hills are in both Saskatchewan and Alberta. They are down south west and are located by Medicine Hat. There are no towns by the Saskatchewan part of Cypress Hills. The Nistowiak Falls are far up north and are surrounded by endless forest. Last Mountain is located near Regina beach and has many signs to were it is. The Athabasca Sandunes are very far up north and are surrounded by forest and rivers. The sky is always around us and can’t be cleaned. It is constantly being polluted. It can be saved if lots of people take the one ton challenge. The Clear Water River is located up north also and is surrounded by forest. It can only reached by foot or a water plane. The Big Muddy Badlands are near the United States border and are in part of Saskatchewan they are 100 miles south of Regina.

            The wonders were decided by scientists and people of the areas were they are all located. The wonders were decided by what ever ones got the highest vote. They chose the top seven and declared them the Seven Wonders of Saskatchewan.

The wonders were mostly made from the retreat of the glaciers and at the end of the ice age all parts of the world had very beautiful spots. Saskatchewan has always been over looked by its people and the rest of the world as a boring flat chunk of land.

            The Seven Wonders will be known in a lot more places after the Saskatchewan centennial is over. There are videos on the Wonders in stores. If you plan on visiting the Wonders you will have a totally different perspective on Saskatchewan. The Wonders are massive and are some of the most beautiful parts of the world that have been overlooked. I recommend that you visit them. I myself have seen 2 of them and the other we see every day of our lives, They are truly awesome pieces of nature.
