The Big Muddy
The Big Muddy badlands are located in Southern Saskatchewan. They evoke images of lawless scoundrels from the "wild west" and are an amazing display of nature's architecture. Castle Butte is a one-of-a-kind monument, and you won't want to miss this trip!
Castle Butte is a unique landmark in the Big Muddy badlands. It is a sandstone and clay-based formation that was formed during the ice age and contains alkali and coal deposits. The Butte is a popular spot as it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Rising 70 metres in height, it also served as a landmark to First Nations people, the NWMP and early settlers.
We also tour the Outlaw Caves where fugitives from the USA and Canada laid low, the Circle Y Ranch where Tammy Burgess recounts tales from the history of The Big Muddy while we sit down to our bagged lunch!
