The Alberta Rocky Mountain area is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Starting with Jasper, Hinton, Grande Cache and the Icefields Parkway in the north; Banff, Lake Louise, Kananaskis Country and Canmore in the south; and Waterton, a picturesque mountain park on the U.S border, there are a wealth of travel experiences to be enjoyed in Canada's largest mountain range. The attractions in this region are geared towards the outdoors, taking full advantage of the natural geography of the area. Downhill and alpine skiing, snowmobiling, rock climbing, spelunking, hiking and wilderness camping are just a few of the many recreational opportunities available to visitors of Alberta's Rockies. The small, mountain towns that are speckled throughout also add to the experience, with their small gift shops, local restaurants and friendly disposition all making any visit memorable.
