A place where the prairies unfold to meet the mountains. From the Montana Alberta border, north to Calgary and west to the Rocky Mountains, this is classic Alberta ranching country. It is also an area where the old blends with the new.

Throughout the north country you'll find small towns dotted along modern, well maintained highways. Historical sites, museums & points of interest are plenty. Northern Alberta is vast, it's people are friendly and full of the pioneering spirit - even today.

Here you will find the city of Edmonton, also called the "Festival City." Whether you are into art, music, drama or just want to simply have fun there is a festival suited to you. Jasper National Park is home to beautiful lakes, hot springs, abundant wildlife & incredible mountain scenery. North of Jasper National Park you will find Willmore Wilderness Park and Kakwa Wildland Park. This area is home to the famous Kakwa and breath taking waterfall - which few people ever have a chance to see. The area is only accessible by horseback or foot.
