National Parks 

Established as sanctuaries for wildlife, Alberta’s five national parks contain thousands of square kilometers of unspoiled wilderness. Home to countless species of plant and animal life, the beauty of diverse terrains beckon outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers from around the world.

Hike, watch the wildlife, camp, paddle, or see the scenery on horseback. In the winter months, experience some of the best alpine and cross countryskiing in the world, strap on a pair of snowshoes, try an ice canyon walk, go dog sledding, or snuggle under a buffalo blanket in a horse-drawn sleigh.
