Alberta Travel Guide

Known as "Canada’s Wild West", Alberta is the gateway to the Canadian Rockies, with National Parks nestled away in the wilderness of snow capped mountain peaks. Throughout the province there are resorts and lodges with the finest accommodations, restaurants, attractions and year-round activities that are vast and numerous. Watch a rodeo at the Calgary Stampede in the summer, listen to bull elk trumpet their mating call in the fall, ski deep powder snow in the winter and catch salmon and trout as they rush the sparkling waters in the spring. Edmonton, the capital, features the largest shopping mall in North America with wonderful art galleries and museums to browse. Whether it’s trail riding at a dude ranch, golfing in the serene parklands, camping by a sparkling lake, relaxing in hot springs or just stopping to share tea and biscuits with friendly locals, Alberta provides travelers with the perfect blend of nature and culture.
