Alberta is home to some of Canada’s most renowned images, including Banff and Jasper National Park, Lake Louise and the Columbia Icefields. The Canadian Rockies offer a range of outdoor activities including white water rafting, canoeing and hiking. The proximity to British Columbia provides opportunities to combine both of these fascinating destinations in one holiday.
