point you in the right direction, keep you out of harm's way,
and show you the area's secret treasures. |

Where the Dinosaurs Roamed by Travel Alberta |
| |
|
When our family thundered into the Canadian Badlands on a recent
dinosaur–hunting holiday, we did it in an armoured beast of our
own – a 25–foot recreational vehicle. We'd come to search for
the fossil remains of some of the most bloodthirsty beasts of the
Late Cretaceous period, and our kids thought it might be wise to
have a little extra protection. So, for five days our beloved RV
became our home–away–from–home. |

Golf – That's One for the Ages by Travel Alberta |
| |
|
In Alberta golf, nothing's quite as mean as the back 9 holes at
Dinosaur Trail Golf and Country Club. A diabolical layout routed
through the coulees and ravines of Alberta's famous Badlands,
players leave the course feeling like they've gone 10 rounds
with an angry Tyrannosaurus rex. Silly creatures that they are,
golfers simply come back for more. |

From a Duffer's Delight to Pro's Paradise: Golf Discoveries, Summer Through Autumn by Travel Alberta |

When it comes to golf courses that tempt, you'd have to look
long and hard to discover more unique challenges than those
you'll find at Alberta golf courses. Golfers can swing through
Alberta's diverse regions and golf in northern boreal forests,
through the Canadian Rocky Mountains, amidst hoodoos and dinosaur
beds, alongside lakes, streams and rivers. Your spectators can
include deer, elk and moose. Now, that's a gallery. And during
the summer months, the daylight seems to go on forever, which
means the vacation golfer can test his skills for up to 18 hours
a day. |

Champagne Powder: Try Alberta's Tasty Snow by Travel Alberta |

With every billowing turn, Alberta's Rocky Mountains prove to
skiers why the snow here is the stuff of legends. Though it's
best known as champagne powder, the locals also refer to it as
"blower" because the lightest puff of breath will spread a
handful like so much dust. On the slopes the powder's lightness
makes it easy to ski. It swirls around your boots and makes big
fans with every turn. |

Cultural Crossings: 10,000 Years of Memories by Travel Alberta |

The First Nations – literally, the first peoples here – likely
began settling in Alberta as early as 10,000 to 12,000 years ago,
after the glaciers that helped carve the Rocky Mountains and the
prairies finally receded. In the south, peoples such as the
Blackfoot, Blood and Peigan hunted the bison that in the early
19th century numbered some 40 million across the North American
plains. Further north, First Nations such as the Woodland Cree
and the Chipewyan took advantage of rivers and woodland to fish,
and to hunt game such as moose and caribou. |

Dry, Light Alberta Snow: - Rip Up the Rockies by Travel Alberta |
| |
|
It's the snow in Alberta's Rocky Mountains that fuels
snowboarding dreams. Wispy and light, it settles in the bowls and
between the trees and creates endless acres of riding pleasure.
Float through this powder and leave fatigue behind. Here, it's
lap after lap of fresh lines and long trails of billowing white
smoke under blue skies. Altitude and geography are responsible
for the good weather and quality snow in the Alberta Rockies. |

| |
|

buffalo berries. Elk are bugling and rutting. In Kananaskis
Country, the Rocky Mountain park nearest to the city of Calgary,
bull trout swim up mountain streams to spawn and golden eagles
ride the updrafts between craggy peaks, 10,000 passing through
the area on their annual fall migration. |
