From Peaks to Plains
Alberta is a land as diverse as it is beautiful, flanked by some of the world’s tallest and most iconic mountains on one side and the sprawling Canadian prairies on the other. Below the famous Rockies, the foothills contain endless opportunities for camping, fishing, ATVing and more. As you move north, the wilderness becomes more pronounced and forest and muskeg dominate the landscape. To the south, the grasslands and farmer’s fields reflect the province’s rich ranching and agricultural heritage. And wildlife is found in abundance throughout the province, from grizzly bear to snowy owl and pronghorn antelope.
