Alberta Travel Tips

Alberta

There are wide, wide-open spaces with giant skies and seas of green and golden grasses. There are big mountains, the wild, jagged, rugged-looking kind that are full of glaciers and ice fields and shimmering emerald lakes. And big cities: Edmonton and Calgary, two of Canada's largest.
