Description
Alberta is right next door to my home province of Saskatchewan; and it's the province I've visited most often over the years - both for travel and pleasure.
Alberta has plenty of attractions - from the Japanese Gardens in Lethbridge, to the world famous Calgary Stampede, to the Badlands and Hoodoos of Drumheller, to the many diversions of the West Edmonton Mall.
As a family, we made an annual Labor Day weekend trek to Edmonton for some twenty years to visit a favorite aunt and uncle. We now travel as often as possible to Calgary to visit our two youngest grandsons and their parents.
However, in addition to friends and family, what draws me back again and again to Alberta are the Canadian Rocky Mountains. In fact, just this year, we took another trek along the Banff Jasper Parkway and enjoyed both old and new sites along the way.
Here are a few of my favorite remembrances from our many visits to the Rockies:
- the colorful poppies sprinkled across the grounds of Chateau Lake Louise
- hiking the Lake Agnes Tea House Trail and the views along the way
- sketching the beautiful blue-green waters of Moraine Lake
- camping near and hiking up Johnston Canyon
- sweet tooth purchases at the fudge shop on Banff Avenue
- whitewater rafting with the family on the nearby Kananaskis River
- the bugling elk roaming the grounds of Jasper Park Lodge
- the thundering Athabasca Falls as they carve their way through their rocky sidewalls
- taking a wintry ice walk through the frozen waterfalls in the depths of Maligne Canyon
This painting features beautiful Lake Louise, one of the most photographed and most visited sights in the Rockies.
