Discover the Canadian Rockies - Towering over the plains of Alberta and British Columbia are the peaks of the Canadian Rocky Mountains - mighty, rugged, exquisite. Each season in the Rockies has its own special beauty and selection of activities. Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise, Fernie, Kimberley, Waterton, Canmore, Kananaskis, Invermere, Revelstoke, Golden, Valemount and Cranbrook are alpine towns sprinkled throughout the Canadian Rockies and are ideal starting points for mountain adventures. The Icefields Parkway is also an ideal area for exploring Canada's wild. Kananaskis Country, Waterton, Banff, Jasper, Kootenay, Glacier and Yoho National Parks are recreational areas with alpine activities and splendour. The hot springs at Radium, Fairmont and Nakusp are rejuvenating and can be enjoyed year round.
Shouldering the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Canadian Rockies to the east, British Columbia is perhaps Canada's most diverse province. Enjoy skiing the legendary Rocky Mountains, hiking the majestic wilderness of the Kootenays, touring the world-class vineyards of the Okanagan and sailing among the temperate water surrounding Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. B.C. is also home to several fascinating cities; Vancouver and Victoria in particular offer excellent cultural and sightseeing opportunities. Central and Northern B.C. are known for their excellent hunting and fishing opportunities and offer a glimpse into the aboriginal and rural cultures of Canada. The Sunshine Coast and Fraser Valley each boast spectacular scenery and small-community hospitality while still being in close proximity of the lower mainland metropolis. British Columbia will gain international focus when the 2010 Winter Olympics are hosted by Vancouver and Whistler.
Alberta's grandeur and beauty are obvious from the moment of arrival. Rolling foothills, intimidating mountains and prehistoric hoodoos are a few of Alberta's more distinct natural landmarks. Most impressive are Alberta's Rocky Mountains, which facilitate the world famous resort towns of Banff, Jasper, Canmore, Kananaskis, Lake Louise and Waterton. Dinosaur hunters flock to Drumheller, home of the acclaimed Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, where the desert topography yields countless fossils and prehistoric discoveries. Alberta's rural heritage can be further explored with a visit to the vast farmlands of Alberta's Heartland, Southern Alberta and Northern Alberta. Calgary, home of the globally recognized Calgary Stampede, is best known for its warm hospitality, oil and gas industry and close proximity to the Rockies. Edmonton, the provincial capital, is often synonymous with its largest attractionâ€”West Edmonton Mall. North America's largest shopping and entertainment complex offers over 800 stores and services and over 110 dining establishments, the epitome of one-stop shopping.
