Alberta's Provincial Parks

Alberta's a natural beauty. And a bit of a show-off. From the inland seas of prairie wheat to the soaring peaks of the Canadian Rockies to the eerily beautiful hoodoos, Alberta loves to draw attention to itself.
It's no wonder that UNESCO crowned Alberta with 5 of Canada's 13 World Heritage Sites. And each of them is an national treasure: Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Waterton/Glacier National Park, Banff-Jasper National Parks, Wood Buffalo National Park and Dinosaur Provincial Park. We also have 5 national parks and over sixty provincial parks, each one serving up breathtaking beauty

Some of our spectacular parks, lakes and other natural resources are nearby on the prairies, in river valleys and found within wooded forests. Here too you can find nature-based holidays.
