Saskatchewan is known for its vast prairies, living skies, and breathtaking natural landscapes. With its flat terrain and open horizons, the province offers some of the most beautiful and memorable sunsets in the world.
We are home to numerous lakes, rivers, and parks, providing plenty of opportunities to enjoy these stunning sunsets in a variety of scenic settings. From the rolling hills and forests of Cypress Hills to the open prairies of Grasslands National Park, there are many great locations in Saskatchewan to watch the sun dip below the horizon. Here are seven of the top places to watch the sunset in Saskatchewan:
Not only are sunsets beautiful to look at, but the science behind them is also pretty cool too. During the day, the blue light in sunlight is scattered more than the other colors due to shorter, smaller wavelengths, which is why the sky appears blue. As the sun approaches the horizon during a sunset, the light that we see passes through more of the Earth’s atmosphere, scattering and reflecting the light in different directions and the blue light is scattered more than the other colors. This leaves more of the red and orange light to reach our eyes, giving the sunset its characteristic colours.
Whether you’re a photographer looking for the perfect shot, a nature lover seeking to experience the beauty of the Canadian wilderness, a science lover in awe of the wonders of light and how we perceive colour, a romantic planning an unforgettable experience for a special someone or simply someone who enjoys a good sunset, we recommend checking out these fantastic destinations for watching the sun go down.
