Manitoba Run Motorcycle Camping Trip
Total Duration: 4 days
Total Distance Traveled: 2,550 km
Description: The ride from Saskatoon east to the Manitoba border on day 2 on Hwy 5 is the classic Saskatchewan prairies with colourful fields of wheat, rape and canola, lots of sloughs, small but thriving towns and plenty of bugs. Saskatchewan has its own unique brand of beautiful scenery. When staying in Dauphin make sure to take in the old CNR station there which has been restored as a museum and municipal office. Then heading south from Dauphin the ride through Riding Mountain National Park is very scenic as well but relatively short.
