Grasslands National Park
Aurora borealis can be viewed in Saskatchewan year round and in all areas of the province — from the badlands in the south to the boreal forest in the north. Our brilliant night skies are also the perfect backdrop for stargazing. Look up and take a journey through the cosmos in Saskatchewan's two Dark Sky Preserves. Grasslands National Park is one of Canada's largest and darkest and an astrophotographer's dream. Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park is home to the Dark Sky Observatory and hosts an annual star party.
Come and see for yourself why Saskatchewan is known as the Land of Living Skies.
