Alberta Hiking & Biking
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Hiking & Biking in Alberta, Canada.
Canada is a hotbed for heart-thumping, adrenaline-pumping action. Geographically, it is the second largest country in the world and accordingly, it offers one of the most diverse landscapes in the world. Canada is known internationally as a world-class skiing and snowboarding destination due to long northern winters, heavy snowfall and a wild assortment of mountains and peaks that span the nation. But the country also offers many other activities that cater to hardcore thrill-seeking individuals. From the tides of the Pacific to the flatlands of the Western Canadian prairies, this enormous country has the right fix for any adrenaline junkie.
Banff is known the world over for its spectacular mountain scenery, yet with the arrival of Labour Day, it suddenly takes on a dormant mood as the seemingly endless wait for the ski season begins.
For
hikers and sightseers, Lake
Louise is a good base for a visit to the
Canadian Rockies. It is central
to three main hiking areas: the Lake Louise area itself, Yoho
National Park and the first 50 kilometers (30 miles) of the Icefields
Parkway. Despite their high elevation, these three hiking areas offer
trails ranging from flat lakeside strolls, to invigorating workouts that ascend
to passes or promontories.
