Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

In February, the coldest, darkest, most dreariest part of winter we decided to check out Moose Jaw. Moose Jaw is a city about an hour away west of Regina with a well known spa, art gallery and underground tunnels to be explored. We stayed at the Mineral Springs Hotel where the spa is located and found ourselves within walking distance of pretty much everything we wanted to see. If making another trip is is good to know that nothing is open Sunday mornings. This is the spa waiting room and a picture of the natural hot springs that are incorporated into the hotel. In the distance you can see the doorway leading to the outside. We sat in the pool at night with the snow falling.



The Yvette Moore Gallery is a truly great find for local arts and great food. Everything from pottery to pictures and the quaintest women's bathroom sitting area ever is here.





The Moose Jaw Tunnels are actual tunnels that were used for living and working way back when. Today they provide entertaining dramatic tours for the public. We saw the “The Passage to Fortune” which is a humbling expose of what Chinese immigrants experienced when they came to Moose Jaw. There is also a tour called "The Chicago Connection" featuring the story about bootlegger Al Capone.
