Alberta's grandeur and beauty are obvious from the moment you arrive. With vast blue skies and the snow-capped Rocky Mountains, and thousands of hectares of farmland and forests, it won't be long before you're engulfed by Alberta's natural features. But it's the people of Alberta that give the province its charm and fervor. There seems to be an ardent sense of community inherent in the people who live there. Calgary, home of the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede, is the fastest growing city in the country. Edmonton, the provincial capital, features world-class attractions including West Edmonton Mall the world's largest. Not to be missed is Banff National Park and the Royal Tyrell Museum at Drumheller to see one of the world's greatest collections of dinosaur remains.
