Canada’s Alberta - A Land With Astounding Beauty And Personality
I must admit, remembering some of our family vacations brings back some pretty bad memories. Long hours in the car or plane both going and coming home were not fun at all. Being older and wiser, I now realize that if we had just not traveled so far, we could have had the same great time without all the problems.

There are many beautiful provinces to visit in Canada and one of the most inviting is the province of Alberta. Located north of Montana, this beautiful territory is enriched by the Rocky Mountains, badlands and beautiful green space populated with wildflowers and wildlife. All of this and much more make Alberta quite irresistible.
Two of the most famous cities in Alberta are Calgary and Edmonton. These two large beautiful cities have everything city life anywhere could offer. Calgary was the site of the winter Olympics and in preparation for this event, every attraction and convenience any visitor could want was built. From fine dining to world class shopping to fabulous accommodations, Calgary has it all. Edmonton is Alberta’s capital city and is called the “Festival City” of Canada. Shopping, sidewalk cafes as well as first class restaurants are everywhere making your selection difficult but our enjoyment complete.
Midland Provincial Park is located in the Badlands of Alberta and is know to be an excellent site to participate in an archeological dig. An abundance of fossils revealing secrets from prehistoric times can be found everywhere in this area which was once a mining town. For the armature paleontologist, the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology is a rare find and hours can be spent studying the displayed specimens. If all of this isn’t enough for you, a variety of water activities and mountain climbing are also available to enjoy.
Horseback riding is very popular in Alberta, partially due to the expansive natural beauty that can be enjoyed so well while one a leisurely horseback ride. If you are more of an extreme sport person, white water rafting and mountain climbing may be just the ticket for you. It is difficult to be in Alberta and not feel like a part of nature. Natural beauty is everywhere, whether visiting the country side or the big city. There are castles to be visited and trails to be trod, all while enjoying the beautiful vistas of Alberta.
