Alberta

When exiting Hwy 1 into Canmore, Alberta, you might notice a striking amount of little furry brown and black blobs decorating the grassy railroad tracks and parking lots. The bustling mountain town of about 14,000, mostly known for its hiking, biking, and skiing trails – and close proximity to Banff National Park – has been overrun with bunny rabbits.

Alberta is home to some of the most awe-inspiring scenery on the planet: rugged snow-capped mountains, massive glaciers, thick forests, impossibly blue lakes, vast prairies and other-worldly badlands filled with dinosaur bones. It’s a nature lover’s paradise, but that's only one side of this remarkable destination.

When it comes to Canadian road trips, few are as iconic as Alberta’s Icefields Parkway from Banff to Jasper through the rugged peaks of the Rocky Mountains. But it’s far from the only road trip worth doing in Alberta.
