1 Alberta Canada
Dotted with more than 600 lakes, and the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks with glaciers in the west and Waterton Glacier International Peace Park in the south, Alberta is home to some of the most scenic regions in Canada. The glaciers and turquoise lakes of Banff and Jasper National Parks are enthralling in summer. In winter, this region offers some of the best skiing in Canada. Banff is abundant in wildlife, with grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, caribou, and elk; sightings are common when driving along the main highway that runs through the park. Yet another aspect of an Alberta visit is indigenous tourism, a more immersive experience that allows travellers to directly interact with the indigenous population and hear their authentic stories. travelalberta.com
