Several years ago, I read an American article about strange places in Canada and one of the places listed was actually in Saskatchewan.  It’s called Crooked Bush; a small patch of trees in the middle of nowhere where the trees all grow…well, they grow crooked.

It’s definitely a place that has to be seen to believed as picture do not do the weirdness any real justice.  And the fact that no one still has any understanding of why the trees grow in such a bizarre way makes it all that much weirder.  I loved it!

If you want to visit this pocket of oddity: drive west on Highway 16 to Radisson, turn north to Hafford, go west on Highway 40.  Just past Speers, there’s a sign to turn north toward Crooked Bush.  After about 14km, you turn west at the sign.  Don’t drive too fast since it’s only a couple kilometers east where you find a rather ordinary clump of trees.  Start walking on the boardwalk and you see they’re nothing close to ordinary!
