Hyde Hill Qu'appelle Valley near Melville, Saskatchewan December 2025

Winter is making another grand appearance again; we're forecasted for a lot of snow and the wind has already started. The plan for this week will be to share a few videos from the start of winter this year and some ideas for road trips in the summertime that we've enjoyed. This video is one of my favorites. It was taken at the very beginning of December when we drove to Hyde Hill in the Qu'appelle Valley, one of our top favorite viewpoints to video. The frost and fog in the air were beautiful; you could even see the frost sparkle in the air. This area of the Valley is south of Melville, Saskatchewan. The Qu'Appelle Valley runs from west to east across southern Saskatchewan. Its westernmost origins now lie flooded under the Qu'Appelle arm of Lake Diefenbaker. The valley ends a few kilometers across the Saskatchewan-Manitoba boundary at St. Lazare, where the Qu'Appelle River joins the Assiniboine. Song Credit: Coldplay 'Paradise'.
