Edmonton
Often a stopover city for those enroute to regional parks, Alberta’s capital has always done things a little differently, with so much to offer. Edmonton’s pristine exterior gives way to a whole lot of lively fun south of the river, with everything ranging from arts and music festivals to beloved farmer’s markets. Kayak, hike, snowshoe and canoe to your heart’s content, or get in touch with your wild side with some bison-spotting fun at Elk Island National Park.
