TRAVEL ALBERTA
Go there and contact
Southern Alberta is bordered to the west by British Columbia, to the south by the U.S. state of Montana and to the east by Saskatchewan, the Canadian Prairie Province. The region has kept traces of its history and prehistory: the thousands of years of erosion due to winds and water movements eventually uncovered dinosaur eggs near Milk River and carved hoodoos, these mysterious rock pinnacles and colourful pinnacles, especially in writing-on-Stone Park. The landscape is superb and offers many opportunities to appreciate the many facets of southern Alberta (don't forget to photograph the hedges of windmills planted on the hills). The Oldman River Dam offers a pleasant stopover on the edge of a turquoise river (and downstream of a dam). Wildlife is ubiquitous (squirrels and biches).
Before the town of Pincher, go south by Highway 6. Waterton Lakes is a national park of more than 500 km ², on the Canada-U.S. border, a site «where mountains meet the prairies». This juxtaposition has produced an immense wealth of flowers (more than half of Alberta's wild flowers) and animals (including the famous grizzly). To be admired: The huge lake on the shore of the city of Waterton, the magnificent Prince of Wales Hotel, a favourite of postcards.
