Saskatchewan Trans-Canada Highway Route



Here is the route of the Trans-Canada Highway (#1) from east to west:

Saskatchewan leglislature in downtown Regina The route through eastern Saskatchewan passes through some of the flattest land you'll ever see, scoured flat by the glaciers of the last ice age (expecialy around the towns of Weyburn, Estevan). For variety, take the time to explore the roads south or north of the highway. Moose Mountain Provincial Park, a recreatonal oasis 80 km south of the highway from Whitewood. You can also take Route 9 (or 201 if you missed it) north from Whitewood past Crooked Lake, Katepwa, and Echo Valley provincial parks in the beautiful Qu'Appelle valley.

Regina is a surprisingly modern-looking prairie city of 200,000 people. It was built around the artificial Wascana Lake, with many government and recreational buildings close to the water. The route west from Regina takes you past Moose Jaw, which during the 1920s prohibition era gained the reputation of "Chicago North" because of its underground tunnels to help smugglers evade police capture.
