Whether you have a passion for natural sights, or a love of history and culture, there are many things to see on an Alberta RV trip.

The Icefields Parkway

Check out more than 100 glaciers, massive waterfalls and a variety of wildlife, while travelling this route between Lake Louise and Jasper. There is now a cliff-edge walkway (the Glacier Skywalk) that you can experience, and the Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre is in this area. 

The Cowboy Trail 

You can see reminders of Alberta's western heritage, when you travel this road through high ranch country. Visit the Bar U Ranch National Historic Site, or the Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump along the way.

Crowsnest  Highway 

Along the Crowsnest Highway, you can stop at Frank Slide Interpretive Centre and learn about the major rockslide that devastated the town back in 1903. There are also places to learn about the area's coal mining history...and the scenery is breathtaking.
