"Amazing Alberta - We only had 10 days" Province of Alberta by amandajayne81
Province of Alberta Travel Guide: 4,836 reviews and 10,028 photos
This was our first visit to Canada and we flew in and out of Calgary completing a clockwise loop driving. We went West to Banff, North to Jasper, East to Edmonton, veered slightly East and South to Drumheller before returning to Calgary.
We saw lots and lots and were most impressed although October (even in the early days) meant we saw many, many signs saying 'closed for the season' at locations we may have liked to visit.
- Pros:Stunning scenery and interesting sights everywhere
- Cons:October is a bit of a 'nothing' season. The Summer attractions were mainly closed and the snow had not yet begun
- In a nutshell:Will definitely return here

Ah, Alberta... this is my home as of late. Your US trip seems to hit some random states. From BC to Banff to Mississippi... any method to those destinations?
