Day 1

We hate to brag but we have, a two-hour drive north of Regina the oldest bird sanctuary in North America... serious! Last Mountain Lake National Wildlife Area was born in 1887. And it happens to be the best place in the world for whooping crane viewing during fall migration, right here in Canada.

The tallest bird in the world is also one of the rarest and most spectacular. The National Wildlife Area encompasses over 15,000 hectares of upland and wetland habitat. Up to 50,000 sandhill cranes, 400,000 geese and several hundred thousand ducks may be observed there when migration peaks. Forget what you read in the guide books, Last Mountain Lake is North America's busiest airport.
