Best Day Trip: Highway 263
If you are not in a hurry to get somewhere and perhaps just looking for a nice, relaxed drive that usually ensures some sort of wildlife sightings than you should consider taking a cruise down Highway 263.
The narrow single-lane highway is approximately 59 kilometres long past Christopher Lake and is a popular scenic drive that enters Prince Albert National Park. Visitors can access Hwy 263 from Hwy 2 if they are travelling from Prince Albert and it continues to the parks southern boundary.
Shannon Bond, public relations and communication officer for Prince Albert National Park said she enjoys driving down Hwy 263 when she travels back to Waskesiu after running errands in Prince Albert.
“I just put the car on cruise control at about 65 – 70 kilometres because it’s true, the amount of wildlife on that road is incredible,” she said.
