Minnedosa is a valley town, hence the name: Manitoba's Valley Paradise.It's easy to forget how scenic our valley home can be, until we venture up the sides of the bowl and catch a glimpse, not only of what lies beyond our valley, but a glimpse of what lies withing it as well.
Each corner of Minnedosa has a different view. From the south west you can see the whole vista of the town stretch across your field of view. From the north east you can look across the down town and see the grain storage elevators towering on the western edge of town. In the north west, you can see the gentle slope carrying the houses up to the southern edge of town. And from the south west you can look towards the Lake as it lies beneath a prairie sky.
It's good to take stock of what is around us once in awhile - to glance up and look beyond the horizon. And occasionally it is even better to climb a hill and look for the world that lies outside of our comfortable little valley.
It helps one gain a fresh perspective!!
