Riding Mountain National Park
National park · Saskatchewan & Manitoba
An island of forest rising nearly 1,500 feet above the Manitoba wheat fields around it, where aspen parkland grades into boreal spruce and birch. The floating boardwalk across Ominik Marsh and the drive out to the bison paddock at Lake Audy both cross open aspen stands that turn gold by late September, with tamarack adding a last flush of yellow into early October.
