Spectacular scenery defines much of Alberta, where you can explore the Canadian Rocky Mountains, prairies and badlands in every season. The Icefields Parkway stretches between Jasper National Park and Banff National Park, offering drivers one breathtaking vista after another of glaciers, waterfalls and lakes “so blue they look photoshopped,” one Pursuits writer says. Calgary and Edmonton are the province’s urban centers.
