Alberta is a province in Canada, bordering from British Columbia at the Rocky Mountains in the west, the Northwest Territories in the north, and Saskatchewan in the east.
Alberta contains great, contrasting sceneries of mountains, forests and praires. Calgary and Edmonton contain more than half of the four million Albertans.
Driving west out of Calgary towards British Columbia, the Rockies rise dramatically and quickly. The drive through Banff, Jasper or Glacier National Park can be quite spectacular. The Icefields Parkway between the towns of Banff and Jasper is definitely not to be missed.
