Riding Mountain National Park

Sunday, July 5, 2009 – Day 66 and Monday, July 6, 2009 Day 67

Manitoba Scenery from Yellowhead Hwy between Roblin and Grandview We had a real nice drive along Saskatchewan Hwy 10 and Manitoba Hwy 5, towards Riding Mountain.  Some beautiful scenery especially between Roblin and Grandview, Manitoba.  We turned south onto Highway 10 just before Dauphin and we soon passed by the site of Country Fest, an annual country music festival, one of the biggest in western Canada.  A few dozen miles past that and we were entering Riding Mountain National Park.

The last time that Janet and I had been here was when we were vacationing with our boys about 15 years ago.  Lots of changes, most of which I would guess are the result of budget reductions.  Less road maintenance; less mowing of the road right of ways; in general just less TLC.

We visited the Lake Audy Bison Enclosure, which kept us amused for a few hours. Bison in Riding Mountain National Park   Bison in Riding Mountain National Park Bison in Riding Mountain National ParkBison in Riding Mountain National Park

We took numerous pictures of the wild flowers.  Blue flowers in Riding Mountain National Park, MB Black Eyed Susan, Riding Mountain National Park, MB

We took a picture of this guy patiently waiting for his master to return.             Sad Dog at Riding Mountain Golf Course
