| Churchill | |
| Churchill The Polar Bear Capital of the World is the only human settlement where polar bears can be observed in the wild. The bears tip the scale at over 1,300 pounds, stand 10 feet tall and can move with surprising speed and agility. Best viewing time is October to early November. Churchill, population 1,000, is accessible by air or the Hudson Bay Railway line, which was built over permafrost and muskeg in 1929 and required a crew of 3,000 to complete. The two-night, one-day trip on VIA Rail from Winnipeg to Churchill (1,600 km/1,000 mi) provides comfortable bedrooms or roomettes and fine Manitoba cuisine in the dining car. Calm Air, Kivalliq Air run regular scheduled air service from Winnipeg, Thompson and Gillam year-round. In summer, white beluga whales surface and plunge in the blue-green waters of the Churchill River. You’ll be talking distance of the most vocal whales in the world. More than 3,000 beluga whales come in early July to feed and calve. Seals can also be seen in the harbour and caribou are frequently sighted along the coast. Visitors are awestruck upon seeing the haunting beauty of our aurora borealis (northern lights). Blue, green and white in colour, they swirl and dance in the still northern sky with performances that can be seen on clear nights. According to legend, the northern lights will dance their way down to earth if you whistle at them. Why not give it a try? Churchill is a birdwatchers’ paradise—some 250 species of birds including the rare Ross Gull, nest or pass through on their yearly migrations. Bird Cove is an excellent spot for bird-watching. The wreck of the Ithaca, caught in a windstorm in 1960 while carrying nickel ore from Rankin Inlet to Montreal, is at the western tip of the cove. Akudlik Marsh and Harbour Board Ponds are also very good spots for birdwatchers. On the tundra, lichens and miniature shrubs and flowers bloom each spring and fall. A short distance inland are patches of taiga (subarctic) forest, with black spruce, scattered white spruce and a thick mat of lichens. Twin Lakes is an island of boreal forest rising out of the surrounding subarctic tundra. Established in 1957, the Churchill Rocket Research Range is a National Historic Site located at the geographic centre of northern light activity. The skyline of the area is unique with the shapes of four launchers from which more than 3,000 rockets were fired into the atmosphere. Trilobite Beach is a fossilized tropical beach nestled below the billion year old cliffs of Churchill quartzite. Four million years ago, this was the shoreline of a warm tropical sea located near the equator. The world’s largest trilobite fossil, 72 cm long, was excavated in 1998.

| Riding Mountain National Park of Canada | |
| Riding Mountain National Park of Canada is a place to reconnect with what truly matters to you, where you will journey to relaxation, laughter, learning and play. Situated at the meeting place of three protected ecosystems – the boreal forest, aspen parkland and fescue prairie - in the middle of a United Nations Biosphere Reserve, you will discover pristine wilderness as it exists nowhere else on earth. Feel like you are looking over the rim of the world when you explore the Escarpment trail system where the Manitoba plateau abruptly falls away 300m to the prairies below. Offering more than 400 km of trails set in 2900 km² of entrancing wilderness set amid the agricultural landscape of western Manitoba, Riding Mountain National Park will enchant and inspire you. You will want to come back year after year as the Trail Redevelopment Project means that old favourites are being refurbished and new experiences are being added all the time. The Lake Audy Bison Herd is a beloved attraction that has been fascinating visitors for 80 years. This captive herd of 40 Plains Bison offer a glimpse of what the prairies once looked like when these great animals roamed freely. Round out your bison experience at the Keesee Sharing Lodge in Wasagaming where you will learn more about the profound connection between the plains’ First Peoples, their prey, and the prairie that nurtured them both. Clear Lake is one of the most recognizable and beloved features of Riding Mountain National Park. Its jewel toned crystal clear waters are perfect for boating, swimming, and fishing. The sandy beaches invite you to luxuriate in the Manitoba sunshine and the Lakeshore Trail will provide you with hours of recreational opportunities including hiking, biking, horseback riding, picnicking and camping. When Riding Mountain National Park was designated in 1930, a man known as Grey Owl gave talks and shows with his pet beavers, Rawhide and Jellyroll. Although people assumed he was Aboriginal, Grey Owl was really an Englishman named Archibald Bellaney who had assumed an Aboriginal persona. His cabin can be visited in the park by hiking or biking an 8.7 km (one-way) trail. Be sure to stop at the Visitor Centre, a remarkable 1930’s federal heritage building. Here you will find a wealth of information to make your stay in Riding Mountain truly memorable including the latest trail and weather conditions. Or tour the exquisite organically maintained English Gardens. Sign up for a guided hike or an interpretive adventure. Or become one of a growing number of “citizen scientists” taking part in research and restoration projects in Riding Mountain National Park.
