Canadian Wilderness of Your Dreams
Whether in their snow-blanketed winter guise or their forest-green and lake-blue summer splendor, the spectacular Canadian Rockies are perhaps the dominant image that most outlanders picture when they think of Canada. With snowcapped mountains and diamond-glass glacial lakes rubbing shoulders with energetic cities and lunar badlands, both North America's largest mall and one of its abundant collection of fossils, the continent's biggest nonpolar icefield and the world's second largest oil reserve, Alberta is a province of unexpected superlatives.
Nestled in Banff National Park, the charming towns of Banff and Lake Louise are spectacular mountain retreats rich with world-class accommodations, abundant wildlife, four-season recreation, and unparalleled skiing in a protected National Park setting. After a chilly day on the slopes or a taxing day hiking the trails, sink into the naturally heated Banff Upper Hot Springs, or catch spectacular views of the Canadian Rockies on an awe-inspiring gondola ride. The "Jewel of the Rockies," Lake Louise is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise of trail riding, hiking, canoeing, rafting, and mountain biking in summer, and the thrill of world-class ski slopes in winter.
Follow the glaciers, waterfalls, and limestone gorges of the majestic icefields Parkway to nearby Jasper, part of the UNESCO Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site. Take an afternoon drive through the sun-dappled parklands, and spot thriving game like mountain sheep, grizzly bears, wolves, elk, and caribou, and mountain goats. Life in Jasper is centered in the downtown district, which boasts a number of top restaurants, shopping areas, hotels, museums, and tourist attractions. Popular excursions from Jasper include trips to the nearby Patricia and Pyramid Lakes, Annette and Edith Lakes, and also the Monashee Mountains, all of which offer a range of recreational activities.
Explore Calgary & Edmonton
The glittering skyscrapers of Calgary tower above a city full of throbbing energy and Western charm. Host of the 1988 Winter Olympics, it's also packed with theater, art, dance, music, and more than 6,000 restaurants. Connect with your inner cowboy at the Calgary Stampede - a 10-day-long rodeo and festival. Ensconced in a scenic river valley, busy Edmonton is the capital of Alberta and the country's second most populous provincial capital after Toronto. Stroll the over six million square feet of shops, dining, and entertainment at West Edmonton Mall, North America's largest shopping mall.
