Calgary to Manitou Beach Sask. and Return Motorcycle Camping Trip
Total Duration: 4 days
Total Distance Traveled: 1,663 km
Description: I did this with my brother in law from Grande Prairie which is why it includes a side run up to Edmonton where we met to start the trip. The main idea behind this trip was to do a kind of nostalgia tour of the area we both grew up which is in and around the small town of Allan Sask. I spent a lot of time as a kid at Manitou beach near Watrous Sask where I was born. So this trip was of personal interest but probably not to many others. Although the campsite at Manitou beach was very nice and I would recommend it to anyone traveling in the area.
