5 Reasons you should Visit Alberta:
The Canadian Rocky Mountains

Polished lakes flash emerald and sapphire and deep forests cover wide canyons. Through it, all ramble bears, elk, moose, wolves and bighorn sheep. Nevertheless, you wish to experience the Rockies, be it through hiking, backcountry skiing, boating or simply relaxing at a lake's shore, the energy and range of the region will drop over even the most seasoned travelers.

Maligne Lake
The baby-blue lake and a boost circle of rocky, attractive peaks are a treat for the eyes. Spirit Island is the lake’s numerous perfect view.

Overshadowed by the mysterious Rockies, miniature Elk Island National Park attracts just 5% of Banff’s yearly traveler count despite its location only 50km east of Edmonton.
