Choice Highlights

Calgary Calgary is Alberta's financial capital and hosts the headquarters of many leading oil and energy companies, as well as the Canadian Pacific Railroad. It is also a major cattle market and equestrian center. Home to the world-famous Calgary Stampede, Calgary continues to grow, attracting thousands of families with the availability of jobs and opportunities.

Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump is one of the world’s oldest and best-preserved buffalo jumps, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Located in the foothills of the Rockies, it has been used continuously by native people of the North American plains for over 5,500 years.

Waterton Lakes National Park Waterton is a quiet, uncrowded National Park tucked into the Southwestern corner of the province of Alberta, Canada. It is a breathtaking part of the continent where the majestic Rocky Mountains rise suddenly out of the rolling prairies. Its uniqueness stems from a blend of unusual geology, mild climate, rare wild flowers and an abundance of wildlife. Waterton Lakes is a UNESCO Word Heritage Site, an International Peace Park and a Biosphere Reserve, the only park in the world that has these three designations.

Glacier National Park Located at the boarder of Canada and the United States, just across from the province of Alberta in the state of Montana, Glacier National Park is made up of pristine forests, alpine meadows, rugged mountains, and spectacular lakes. With over 700 miles of trails, Glacier is a hiker's paradise for adventurous visitors seeking wilderness and solitude. It offers historic chalets, lodges, transportation, and stories of Native Americans.

Going-to-the-Sun Road An incredible feat of engineering, this 50-mile pathway snakes its way up steep slopes, through narrow tunnels, past waterfalls and along some of the most spectacular mountain views in Glacier National Park. There are numerous turnoffs along the road where one can safely stop to take pictures and admire the views. The road's apex is at Logan Pass at an elevation of 6,646 feet.

Banff A small mountain town nestled in the Canadian Rockies, Banff is the second highest elevation community in Alberta, with a population just over 7500. As part of the Canadian Rockies UNESCO World Heritage Site, Banff provides visitors with activities such as hot springs, gondola rides to the mountain tops and wildlife sightings in abundance.

Athabasca Glacier Marvel at the raw beauty of the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park. Stretching for almost 4 miles, take in the glacier by either driving around the ice field or from a lookout point on the glass Glacier Skywalk.

Choice on Tour: Ice Explorer Glacier Tour or Columbia Icefield Skywalk Today in the Icefields, you have the choice between two activities. First, you may choose to ride onto the surface of the Athabasca Glacier by Ice Explorer, a massive vehicle specially designed for glacial travel. An experienced driver-guide shares a wealth of fascinating information about glaciers, icefields and their impact on our environment. Your other option is to walk beyond nature's edge and enjoy the view from a fully-accessible, cliff-edge walkway that leads to a glass-floored observation platform 918 feet (280 meters) above the Sunwapta Valley.

Lake Louise Located in the heart of the Canadian Rockies' Banff National Park, Lake Louise is a pristine alpine lake whose robin-egg-blue glacial waters and renowned Chateau-Style hotel have made it a Canadian travel icon. Mount Victoria and its twin glaciers are perfectly framed by the surrounding peaks and reflected in the lake's serene waters. Sunrise slowly waking up the montage is pure magic!
