ALBERTA
TRAVEL INFORMATION
Alberta
is a land unspoiled and unchanged, offering an abundance of natural
beauty. From the soaring peaks of the Canadian Rockies, to the Badlands
and the north's untamed outback, the visitor will find breathtaking
vistas. Experience Banff National Park, easily one of the most beautiful
places on earth.
Travel
to Legendary Lake Louise, called the "Jewel of the Rockies."
When you're ready for lots of action, come to the Calgary Stampede,
billed as the "Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth." Or shop
at the West Edmonton Mall, the largest shopping center in the world
with 800 stores, 110 restaurants, 19 cinemas, a hotel, water park
and the world's largest indoor amusement park. Perhaps one of the
most beautiful drives in the world is the 145-mile Icefields Parkway,
connecting Banff and Jasper.
Along
the way is the Columbia Icefield, the largest expanse of ice and
snow inthe Rockies. Along the highway there is also a wealth of
wild rivers and waterfalls and spectacular scenery. Sightings of
moose, elk, sheep and grizzlies add to the feeling of a wilderness
excursion. Whatever you look for in a great vacation, Alberta offers
great adventure opportunities, along with the scenery to make it
all worthwhile.
