Welcome to the Trail

Ella-vated Trails

Tracing prairie trails through memory, discovery, and home

Hi, I’m Ella. I’m a storyteller, a curious beginner, and someone who’s spent most of her life in Saskatchewan without realizing how many trails are waiting to be explored. This summer I’m setting out to change that.

As the Trail Storyteller with the Saskatchewan Trails Association, I’ll be travelling across the province to walk, watch, listen, and share. I’ll be posting updates here through trail reflections, short videos, photos, and conversations with the people who love these places and keep them alive.

Some stories will be playful. Some will be quiet. All of them will come from real moments on real paths.

Whether you’re someone who hikes every weekend or just likes to follow along from the comfort of home, I’m glad you’re here. Let’s see where the trail leads.
