Alberta
Trip Planning & Itineraries
If Alberta had a catchphrase it would have to be super size it. And we're not just talking about the province's penchant for building giant replicas of sausages, ducks and dinosaurs. It's just that in the westernmost of the prairie provinces it seems everything is exceptionally big.
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.
Athabasca Glacier Snow Trip
From USD $152.36
See glaciers remaining from the last ice age, hear stories of early explorers who opened these valleys and enjoy an alpine picnic. Join a Ice Explorer! Tour onto the glacier or explore the interpretive center and surroundings.
Suggested Itineraries: Alberta
Whether you're bar-hopping and browsing the funky shops of Old Strathcona, snorkeling around a lake in the self-proclaimed world's largest mall, eating a melt-in-your-mouth Alberta steak at a fine restaurant or taking the kids on an adventure in the futuristic-looking Odyssium, Edmonton aims to please just about everyone.
The mountains reach up and scrape the sky - a jumble of colors and shapes. Welcome to Banff and Jasper National Parks, heart of the Canadian Rockies, and home to some of the most spectacular scenery on the continent.
From USD $123.67
Ride the rails over the Yellowhead Pass, follow the Fraser River past the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies. All aboard!
