If there is a place in Alberta that I would go back to time after time after time, it would be Jasper. Jasper is a special place. Every bit as beautiful as Banff, without the commercialization. It is 4 hours west of Edmonton on the Yellowhead Highway.
Check out this view from the top of the Tramway.
Beautiful. There is nothing like standing on top of a mountain.
Then there is the skiing. Marmot is a good hill and I think it is the farthest north hill in Canada. I do know that the spring skiing is excellent, and goes late into April.
And lots of other attractions, including the power of Moligne Canyon. This canyon winds it way through the face of a mountain and is latticed with walkways that bring you into the heart of the canyon. I loved this walk and look forward to doing it again at some point.
