Banff and
Jasper National Parks, located in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta,
contain rugged mountains, alpine meadows, waterfalls, deep canyons,
lakes, glaciers and ice fields. You many also encounter elk,
caribou, bighorn sheep, black bears, grizzly bears, and several grand
hotels built by the Canadian Pacific Railway in the late 19th
century. The parks provide plenty of recreational opportunities
including hiking, horseback riding, and canoeing. Banff National
Park is located 80 miles west of Calgary.
Pacific Rim
National Park, located on Vancouver Island in British Columbia,
contains the famous 47 mile West Coast Trail named one of the most
spectacular and challenging hikes in the world by the Sierra Club.
Pacific Rim's rocky shoreline was once known as the Graveyard of the
Pacific and provides plenty of shipwrecks as well as abundant marine life
for scuba divers. Stay at the Wickaninnish Inn in the village of Tofino and enjoy the views from
your floor-to-ceiling windows and private balcony. Or stay in one
of the Western-style cabins at the Middle Beach Lodge. The West Coast Trail is open from May
through late September. Tofino is a five-hour drive from Victoria,
which is connected to Vancouver by ferry and air.
Prince Edward Island has gained
notoriety as the location of the home of Lucy M. Montgomery and her novel
Anne of Green Gables, and its tiny towns set among rolling
hillsides make this pastoral island a truly beautiful destination.
Red dirt roads crisscross the island and local fisherman catch lobsters,
clams, scallops, and oysters. Blue Heron Drive passes through the
National Park which includes Lucy Montgomery's home along the Gulf of
St. Lawrence, and Cavendish, the area's most visited town. Prince
Edward Island is located 8 miles across the Confederation Bridge from New
Brunswick.
While Canada is famous for its majestic natural beauty, visitors also have their pick of culture-laden cities such as Toronto and Montreal, known for their history, performing arts, music, and sports. This diversity is what makes Canada a country that is sure to please every traveler.
