On the horizon the picturesque Qu Appelle Valley

Unfotunately time did not allow us to take the scenic route to and along the Qu Appelle Valley. Maybe next time.

 

QU'APPELLE VALLEY - Legend tells of a young Indian brave canoeing home from a hunting trip one evening when he thought he heard someone calling his name. "Who calls?", he asked aloud. There was no reply. "Qu'appelle?" he tried again, this time in French. Then came a reply from the hills on the other side of the placid, moonlit lake: "Qu'appelle?" It was his echo.

 

On his return home the following night he discovered the young maiden he was to marry had died suddenly the previous evening. With her dying breath she called out his name. Thus the beautiful Qu Appelle Valley received its name.
