Places We Visited in Alberta

We missed it on our Banff trip and made a point of stopping on the way back from BC. Two hours, the best dinosaur museum either of us has seen, and a dachshund who had to take turns with us.

A glacier-fed lake the Stoney Nakoda called the "Lake of the Little Fishes," framed by the Victoria Glacier — and the parking battle that comes with its fame.

The turquoise headwaters of the Bow River, framed by Crowfoot Mountain and the historic Num-Ti-Jah Lodge — an easy, unforgettable stop on the Parkway.

Named for a legendary guide and shaped like a wolf's head, Peyto Lake glows glacier-blue from the highest point on the Icefields Parkway.

Step onto a glass floor cantilevered 280 metres above a mountain valley — here's how the Columbia Icefield Skywalk works, and what to know before you go.
