The annual rodeo festival attracts over a million visitors every July, a celebration of Canada’s western and ranching roots. Along with the rodeo and exhibitions, Calgary buzzes with free daily street events and concerts. Bring a Stetson, saddle up and enjoy the show.
Located an hour’s drive east of Edmonton, Elk Island is Canada’s only entirely fenced national park and a haven for free-roaming bison, not to mention elk, deer, moose, and more than 250 species of birds.
Snowcapped mountains, postcard perfect evergreen trees, a turquoise lake as clear and magical as the teardrop of a fairy. Canoeing on Moraine Lake is as iconic as the view itself.
Whether you choose to witness crashing waterfalls or flash-frozen ice formations, there’s never a bad time of year to visit one of Canada’s true natural wonders.
Canada is the world’s second largest country, and when you take the 4-night, 3-day VIA Rail Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto, you can see just how large that is.
