Alberta

From the dizzying height of your Rocky Mountain peak you descend. Past the jagged cliffs where mountain goats huddle, through the forest where grizzly bears mark their territory on evergreen trunks, past the migrating herd of caribou in the valley and across a crystal clear lake. You take extra care walking across the ice fields between Jasper and Banff, the crackle of ice beneath your boots both thrilling and unnerving.

A very forgiving steed leads you through the rolling foothills under a blazing sun. It saunters nonchalantly through the Badlands of flat-topped hoodoos as you gape at the dinosaur impressions left in the sandstone cliffs. A rewarding stop in Calgary yields, among other treats, a bold steak, an ice-cold drink and a whole lot of western hospitality.
