Exploring backroads and small towns is my passion, l just love to get off the beaten path, explore the grid roads, reminisce about days gone by, and learn the area's history.
While roundtripping Southern Saskatchewan with a dear friend who was born in Saskatchewan, she brought me to the end of Hwy 715 to the tiny village of Spring Valley, located approximately 62kms south of Moose Jaw in the heart of the unique Cactus & Dirt Hills area.
In this area, you will find some of the largest and highest glacial push hills in the world. These hills were created by the glacier that covered Saskatchewan 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.
The rolling hills are a colorful patchwork of various crops and dotted with old barns and homesteads which are a photographer's dream.
Pack a picnic lunch and escape the hustle of the city to the quiet countryside where the silence is wonderfully deafening.
Interested in the rich history and historic sites relating to the Indigenous culture? You can arrange an
Interpretive tour May through October and learn about Spring Valley and area by contacting Town Hall at 306-630-6060
There are several events of interest that are held at the Community Centre throughout the year like the Community Yard Sale where antique and treasure hunters will delight in a huge array of vintage goods!
Dark skies at night make for incredible stargazing opportunities and you are almost guaranteed an amazing sunset in The Land Of Living Skies.
