ALBERTA TRAVEL

Alberta travel is an adventure in itself. Wide roads across golden crop fields lead to Alberta’s premier attraction—the Canadian Rockies. Alberta’s diverse landscape is a natural wonder highlighted by turquoise lakes, 10,000 year old glaciers, jutting snow-capped peaks and roaring rivers. Alberta is a province two and a half times the size of Colorado (255,200 square miles) and home to less than three million people.

Layers of history are revealed during an Alberta travel experience—from the surprise discovery of bubbling hot springs in Banff National Park to 515 million year old fossils in Yoho National Park. Follow the Icefields Parkway from Banff to Jasper, paralleling turn-of-the century routes of the fur traders and railway builders. This is one of the most scenic drives in the world and while in Alberta, travel the Parkway for views of 100 glaciers and numerous meltwater lakes and waterfalls along its 143 miles. Its centrepiece is the Columbia Icefield, one of the largest glacial masses this side of the Arctic.

The province is very proud of its colourful cultural heritage. So when you come to Alberta, travel and relive the days of cowboys while riding on horseback through mountain passes, staying at a cozy mountain lodge or hiking to a backcountry cabin. If your trip brings you here in July, don’t miss the “Greatest Show on Earth”, the Calgary Stampede—a ten-day long rodeo and celebration of Canada’s western culture.

An Alberta travel experience with Good Earth Travel Adventures ensures personalized packages comprised of a wide sampling of seasonal festivals, outdoor activities and quiet moments in the most spectacular setting you can imagine. Find serenity while floating down a river in a raft, fishing in a mountain stream, driving along some of the world’s most scenic highway stretches or snowshoeing across a frozen lake. Just as visiting the mountains invokes a calming sense of peace, so does a professionally planned vacation while on an Alberta travel adventure.
