Bear Watching, Whale Watching and Wildlife Viewing:
In Manitoba, Churchill is known for its Polar Bears and Belugas and Riding Mountain National Park and adjacent Parkland area for its abundant population of Black Bears that vary in color from blond, cinnamon and chocolate to black. Riding Mountain National Park is known for its "watchable" wildlife.
Icefields Parkway:
Between Lake Louise and Jasper in Alberta, the Icefields Parkway is one of the world's most beautiful routes to travel by car. It winds its 200 kilometres long way on an average hight of about 1,700 metres, travelling along dozens of glaciers, through an impressive part of the Rocky Mountains. Jasper National Park and Banff National Park are two parks in the region not to be missed either!
Fishing:
Canada, mainly British Columbia, offers some of the best fishing opportunities in the World for all ages and styles. From the renowned salmon runs of the Fraser River to the superb still water lake fisheries of the BC interior, Spectacular Alpine Lakes, and the Saltwater fishery of the Pacific Coast, the diversity and breathtaking scenery will satisfy the most seasoned angler as well as the first time fisherman/woman.
Niagara Falls:
One of the most spectacular and biggest waterfalls in the world, the Niagara Falls are spread out on the border between Canada (Ontario) and the United States (State of New York). Although it has become very crowded with tourists, it remains a very special sight to behold. You can walk on either side of the border to watch the American Falls, the massive Canadian Horseshoe Falls and the smaller Bridal Veil. The Canadian and American side are separated by Goat Island. One of the best ways to experience the impact of the falls is to take a boat ride on the Maid of the Mist, which brings you very close and you can view the falls from beneath. If you would rather walk, the Cave of the Winds (on the American side) takes you to the base of the Bridal Veils Falls.
Rocky Mountains:
Stretching more than 4,800 kilometres from northernmost British Columbia, in Canada, to New Mexico, in the United States, the Rocky Mountains are a broad mountain range. In Canada, the Rockies span most of British Columbia and into Alberta, and include some amazing sights and activites. For skiiers, Fernie in British Columbia or Lake Louise and Sunshine Village in Alberta are draws for their powder snow and big verticals. Nature lovers will want to check out national parks like Banff National Park, Jasper National Park or Kootenay National Park.
