With the Rocky Mountains to the west and the vast plains and badlands to the east, the Western Canadian province of Alberta embodies a hugely diverse landscape. While the major city of Calgary is most visited for its annual Calgary Stampede, and the provincial capital of Edmonton for the West Edmonton Mall, both cities serve as the gateway to the snow-dusted peaks, massive glaciers, and alpine lakes of Banff National Park and Jasper National Park. Not to mention nearby Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park.
Whether you visit in the balmy summers or frigid winters, you’ll find charm in Alberta's natural landscapes. Linked by the scenic Icefields Parkway, both Banff and Jasper National Parks consistently find their way to the top of any outdoor adventurer’s bucket list. Here, you can play hockey on Lake Louise, visit the chain of lakes at Waterton Lakes National Park, or venture among the sandstone pillars of the Hoodoo Trail.
