Why go
Moose Jaw connects prairie history, railway and a compact city centre. The place is suitable as a pleasant cultural and supply stop along the Trans-Canada Highway.
The stop is intended as a quiet stage. The Fifth Wheel remains on a suitable basis if possible, while narrow local, coastal and park roads are only explored with the pickup truck.

Practical tips
Book tours in advance.
Visit downtown without trailer.
Keep an eye on summer thunderstorms.
Save offline maps. In rural regions, national parks and in the north, mobile communications can be missing over long distances.
Never take water untested from lakes or rivers into the fresh water tank. Replenish drinking water only at released sources or prepare it professionally.
Our recommendation
One night is enough for the most important points, two nights allow a real day of rest.
