Alberta’s Three National Parks!

One of the best parts of living in Alberta is our “three” National Parks!

If you had a weekend available, you could visit Banff National Park, which is world-renowned and has the Columbia Icefields, and of course, Lake Louise.

Or, you could drive to Jasper National Park where the Athabasca Falls is located.

If you are feeling like more of a Prairie experience, then drive out to Elk Island National Park, just east of Edmonton off of the Yellowhead Highway.

If you love picturesque scenery and you are a nature lover, you can easily venture out to any of these magnificent parks (see above) for a weekend getaway.  Though camping is more or less out of the question, as the weather is getting colder, you still could opt to stay in a cabin or in one of the many lodges available.

If you don’t have any plans for this upcoming weekend, get on out to one of these parks for some hiking and sightseeing.  Thanksgiving is around the corner; therefore, be proactive and burn some calories before you even sit down for that decadent and very filling family dinner!
