Top Nature in Alberta

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. There are some pricey cafes around, and you can save a ton by packing a picnic, plus you can eat it at the best spots!

If you're planning to hike up Prairie Mountain, I recommend starting around 7 AM. The earlier you go, the nicer the weather and fewer people you encounter. Plus, you get to enjoy the sunrise views!

If you're planning to drive, I suggest getting a Parks Canada annual pass if you intend to visit other parks. It saved me lots of cash!

My advice is to pack a lunch. Dining in the park can get pricy, and there are some amazing picnic spots with breathtaking views. I wish I had done this.

I recommend checking out Maligne Lake for the boat tours, but book in advance! I waited too long and missed out—it was packed!
