Route overview
Three Sisters Trail in West Block.
Three Sisters Trail follows an old vehicle trail from Rosefield Grid toward the Saskatchewan Natural History monument associated with the country’s first Black-tailed Prairie Dog sanctuary. Its cultural and conservation context is central to the route. Visitors must not enter colonies with pets, place hands near burrows or treat prairie dogs as approachable animals. The open alignment requires conservative decisions when heat, lightning or wind builds.
