Indeed, I'm pleased to call it the place where I was born and raised. It has a number of lovely sights and two fairly big cities (Edmonton and Calgary) in it plus Alberta provides Canada with oil and is basically Canada's economic engine even if Justin Trudeau thinks otherwise.
@@Fetish-Footage-Forumnot sure what Harper did for Alberta for 11 yrs.. you would think things would be perfect with cons provincially and federally.. things are not always Trudeau's fault
@@pambp5978 If you are not from Alberta then you don’t know. And if you are from Calgary then you world definitely know. And yes, things are not always Trudeau’s fault. But more are his faults then should be, for the prime minister of Canada. And when you are the leader, buck should stop with you.
I would have added "Head Smashed In " Buffalo Jump its not to everybody's taste but an interesting part of first nations history The old whiskey traders fort Whoop Up in the old man river valley is another one. Great job!!
I did go and was going to add it but somehow half the footage didn't turn out. THat is what I ditched my GoPro and bought an Action Cam. Head Smashed In will get a stand alone video next time I am out.
@@attrellI have been to Dry Island Buffalo Jump in south eastern Alberta and it was very cool to see just how far the Buffalo 🦬 would have fallen after tumbling down! 😮 Fun fact: don’t drive down or stay down if it’s raining or after it rained because the gravel road is so slippery you may not be able to drive back up!! 😮

Elkwater in Cypress hills is a great place. Reesor lake, and grayburn gap are in that area as well. If you're in red rock park. Stop at premium sausage in seven persons, and have a sausage on a bun. Smells wonderful in there. Fort McLeod is also a great place to go. Love your channel. Thank you for sharing!☮️❤️🙂🙏🌈🍀🎶🇨🇦
This is a great video. Photography is spot on. The commentary is thoughtful and clear. Your speaking voice is clear and well pronounced. Investing in audio equalization, mics, recording studio with acoustics. Fifty percent of your show is audio.
I’ve never seen Waterton look so still! Love Red Rock Coulee - it’s like visiting Mars 🤓 I might add Dry Island Buffalo Jump and Castle Wildland PP too - Castle is so pretty with waterfalls and so much wildlife
I love how silent it is in Dinosaur Park while walking through the Hoodoos/trails - I'd pick it over Drumheller any day. Waterton is nice, but pretty tourist heavy.... Red Rock is surreal....just amazing! Writing On Stone Park is on the top of the list as there's some great camping there and no fee for Park entry. Milk River is a nice little town to visit as well. Wow! Haven't been to Red Rock Coulee before. I love the fact there's just a picnic bench and the rest is nature! Another great video - thanks for sharing!
@@attrell Looking forward to that new trail for sure - watching your videos is really making me consider picking up one of those drones. Last time we were at Writing Stone there was a really loud rattle snake under a rock next to the trail - I guess it felt the vibration of our footsteps! Hearing that sound in real life, is spooky for sure!
Lots of favorites in there. My visits to Southern Alberta have invariably been during October and November, so lots of dramatic weather. Being on that bluff outside the Prince of Wales in Waterton Lakes is quite an experience at that time of the year - the wind is fierce!! I still laugh about seeing a minivan pull up, and as the door slide open the first boy outside had a moment to enjoy his ballcap being on his head before it was yanked off and set sailing to parts unknown. My last visit was not long after the fires, so it was startling to see both all of the damage as well as see what managed to escape the flames (the Prince of Wales being most notable).
Wayne, AB just off the highway near Drumheller is super interesting to visit. The road includes crossing 11 one way bridges and you end up at an abandoned mining town. The hotel and cafe are great attractions - fascinating history and the best bison burger I’ve ever had! Camping and outside stage for entertainment near the hotel.
12:58 don’t forget to check out the High Rockies pass trail when you’re out in K-Country. It’s a multi use circuit trail that traverses through the valley and connects to a lot of amazing trails with plenty of day use areas. Parts of the trail can be busy but it is plenty big enough (part of the coast to coast trail) that you can avoid most of the people if you want.
Love that you added the bird of prey sanctuary, it's so much fun for kids. And as to Writing-on-Stone, rattlesnakes aren't exactly rare. It's our go to camping and seeing a rattlesnake a few times a year is common, in my experience
First camping trip there and I saw one along the trail that takes you to the battle scene. Not to mention finding a few shed snake skins along the way.
It changed since COVID and lockdown. I used to love it here, now I'd give damn near anything to leave. The people changed. I'm very introverted and mind my own business and bother no one yet I've had more incidents of people being just plain mean and nasty for no reason at all since lockdown added then all the years before combined.
Great video. Looked like you picked an amazing day to go to some of these places. Can't believe how clear the reflection was on the lakes in Kananaskis. I would add Sheep River Falls. Beautiful area!
Hi Chris. Subbed to your channel a couple weeks ago. 25% of Frank was buried during the slide, the rest of town was just west of the slide. The slide happened in 1903, when Alberta was still part of the Northwest Territories. Alberta became a Province in 1905, same day as Saskatchewan. Thank you for bringing us along for the Road Trip. Stay Safe and on to the next Adventure.
Lundbreck Falls is always a nice stop for us, especially after picking up donuts from Bootsma Bakery in Lethbridge. Also a nice hike up The Miners' Path in Coleman.
On the main drag in Waterton Park in summer, it is common to see a bull elk settled down on the lawn just feet from the sidewalk. Being massive in size, [ weighing 392 - 1029 lbs.] sporting a huge rack of antlers, they don't seem to scare stupid tourists who approach them as if they are tame. It adds excitement to their vacation being nearly gored or stomped to death. Enjoyed your travelog. Thanks.
I’m born and raised in Red Deer, and I got to say this video is fantastic for ideas. And he didn’t hit them all. But what a fantastic list to start on. Great job.
This is a great video, thank you! I'm 50 from Quebec and I just started exploring the rest of our beautiful country, it really is amazing. I added these places to my map, can't wait to see them in person!
Great Video. I've been to all of these places, except the Red Rock Canyon and Writing on Stone Provincial Park. They are on "To Visit list". Another great Hike is to the "Big Beehive" overlooking Lake Louise, Alberta, but it's quite strenuous at times, but worth it when you get to the top.
You definitely nailed the top spots. I always remind everyone of the bonus spot just outside AB which is Going To The Sun Road and Many Clacier, make sure it is on your bucket list. Banff is over crowded.
As another person commented; you don’t want to miss Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump. The history, culture, and lifestyle of the Blackfoot people is covered in this fascinating building, which is built in increasing levels into the side of the rocks leading up to the precipice of the jump. It’s very impressive because it is operated almost wholly by local indigenous people. The pride the young people take in their dancing brings a tear to the eye. To understand the significance of the millions of Bison which comprised every aspect of indigenous livelihood and culture, and which roamed the prairies and were wantonly slaughtered for game by the encroaching Europeans, is another reason for tears. Despite it all, this place is a beacon for hope.
I've lived in Southern Alberta my entire life.... I'll say that I have been to all of these places at least once in my life! I'm surprised you didn't do Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump
Cypress hills is amazing, Elkwater is the town. If you mountain bike or hike the trails there are open before anywhere else in Alberta with decent ones. It is the highest point in Canada between the Rockies and the other mountains to the east. Cold as balls lakes though, but decent fishing. Many campsites as well. Also there is lookout point, which is just beautiful
The entire Province is gorgeous it’s my home born and raised! My late wife and I visited all of these sites her favourites were lundbreck falls and CNP ❤
There are Gardner, Bull, and Rattle Snakes in both Drumheller and Crowsnest Pass just so you know. Also Hybrid Bull/Rattlers, Scorpions, and Big Wierd Spiders In Drum, as well as Timber Rattlesnakes in Crowsnest, as well as some types of water snakes and lots of Turtles!
Make sure that you pick a day when there will be a special Trekkie event to visit Vulcan, Alberta. Otherwise you would be like a silly me who drove hours to the place (& back too!), took a few pictures and got bored to tears after a few minutes. The world was still much younger than today and there were good Star Trek episodes playing on TVs.
this was great to watch I have been living in alberta for nearly twenty years and only knew about drumheller. I will be checking out those places thanks.
You CAN'T go wrong at ANY of them! In Drumheller - Check out the Atlas Mine tour, The Royal Tyrell Museum, the Hoodoos and MAKE SURE you have a meal at the Last Chance Saloon in Wayne!
Thank you... lots of food for thought for a hobbyist photographer from Yukon. I lost much of my mobility within the last few years and can no longer hike to many of the view options nearby. Your video piques interest visiting a new geography that is available within my limitations. I particularly appreciate the 'distance/difficulty' access comments. Not so inclined to travel 2500 km south to see mountains and bears but the badlands and prairie towns are very appealing. I'll be digging in to your video list for more nuggets. Thank you again. Liked and subbed.
You really have an exceptionally beautiful piece of real estate there... Not only in AB, but all over the country - it's absolutely stunning. And what i apreciate even more, is that you're pretty much never interupted by some Billy-Bob trying to sell you some fries with cheese.
Exceptional tour and photography ,Chris ! Have visited 6 of the 8 sites and all were mesmerizing. ( SE Alberta was out of my travel area near Medicine Hat) . Another great spot near Lethbridge is Fort Whoop-up located near the famous railway trestle there that a previous commenter mentioned. 👍👍👍🤩🏆🏆🏆
You should be a tour guide!!! Awesome video presentation, so many great places, thanks - now I am drawing up a list of where to go on my next visit to Canada, Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺. Sky Unlimited Visual Media
#1 YOU MISSED THE MEDICINEHAT BADLANDS GUARDIANS GEOGLYPHS SITE! it's on the opposite side of medicinehat from red rock Coulee , aka the ne not the sw. every site especially waterton is epic. i visited every site you've highlighted in this video, in my Badlands tour last summer
Great video on Southern Alberta. Just a friendly add for you about Kananaskis Country. The paved highway pass you referred to as “Highland Pass” on Highway 40 and changing name to Highway 541 at the summit of the pass is more correctly call the “Highwood Pass”. I very much enjoyed you video log and narration . Thanks for compiling it.
Could have done a long detailed Skit on Cypress Hills like the Kananaskis one, they aren't just hills there are many Small Mountains and large hills that go above 750metres and a huge 12km wide by 50km long Forest that just pops out of the badlands like Red Rock which is just 15 minutes away from the Park, the Cypress Hills are like Southern Alberta's and Saskatchewan's own little Appalachian Region. The City of Medicine Hat is also way more beautiful and full of Coulees and hills stretch out the Mid-Size City of about 85,000 ppl including RedCliff and Dunmore over an area that's the size of a more Urbanized Mid-Sized City like Lethbridge&Coaldale (a total of about 105,000) but coaldale is 10km outside of Lethbridge and many Businesses have been built in a couple new Industrial Parks between Coaldale and Lethbridge that ended up doing very good and a new Street Light Crossing was built on the Highway 3 Turnoff to the rapidly expanding Broxburn Industrial Park, which makes Coaldale and Lethbridge 5km apart once they move the City Sign and I'm Sure they will. The Indian Battle Park River Coulee trails that seperate East and West Lethbridge are beautiful parks and trails, however I prefer Medicine Hat as you get Coulees and Hills and the best City/Nature walking trails between EVERY neighborhood. It's paradise and 30 mins to Cypress and Red Rock. However my favorite Mid Size Urban City is Red Deer (125,000) and it has a vibrant DT.
Great job! In the Kananaskis, the pass that you mention is the “Highwood Pass”, not Highland Pass. Opens each year around June15 until October 15th. It is also the highest paved road in Canada!
This just popped up as a suggestion and I loved it! We visited Jasper and Banff years ago but it's obvious we need to go back. What gorgeous places! When I was a child, I visited Waterton with my parents but would love to go back. (Please note I have paid attention and will go after Canadian Thanksgiving...no thank you to the rattlesnakes!!). Thanks so much for sharing these places with us!
Writing on stone has Rattle snake and they are numerous. While campong there a snake decided it wanted to move into my brothers tent. Park ranger was kind enough to move it along. The good thing about Rattle snakes is they will warn you if you are getting to close.
There are many other places in Alberta beside Banff and Jasper that are just as stunning if not more with much less people. I can remember the last time family came to visit me and wanted to go see Lake Louise. The crowd and lack of parking lesser the experience like most places tourists hear about before coming to Alberta. Most other places mostly unknown from tourist in the rockies are more enjoyable and just as pretty in my opinion if you don’t mind camping.
There's a place in Kananaskis , 15 minutes west of Bragg Creek called the Canyon Creek Ice cave. It is has a wall of ice at the back which is there throughout the entire year.. If you haven't been there, I would recommend it!
Crazy I’ve been to all of these places. I was unfortunate enough to run into a rattler in writing on stone when I was about 8, just missed my shoe. They camouflage really well with leaves
Alberta is a beautiful province! I'm lucky to call it home.
Indeed, I'm pleased to call it the place where I was born and raised. It has a number of lovely sights and two fairly big cities (Edmonton and Calgary) in it plus Alberta provides Canada with oil and is basically Canada's economic engine even if Justin Trudeau thinks otherwise.

I miss Dinosaur Prov Park. I was a park ranger there for 4 years.
Must have been a fun job!
It was. Lots of resource management work. Piles of history there. The list of what the job entailed was huge. Definitely more than meets the eye.
Elkwater in Cypress hills is a great place. Reesor lake, and grayburn gap are in that area as well.
If you're in red rock park. Stop at premium sausage in seven persons, and have a sausage on a bun. Smells wonderful in there.
Fort McLeod is also a great place to go.

I'm proud to be from Alberta. Such a beautiful province.
Just as long as you’re not from Edmonton 😁😁😁
I’m a proud Calgarian
Ya, Alta and BC - wow! Hey, add Sask and Man, and share of Yukon for what'd be an awesomely wealthy country.

Wow! Haven't been to Red Rock Coulee before. I love the fact there's just a picnic bench and the rest is nature!
Another great video - thanks for sharing!
I would would wager that if you asked the average Albertan more than 50% would think Dinosaur Provincial Park is Drumheller.
Thank you! I like Dino better too and hope the trail they are working on is significant!

Carry a long stick with you. You can flick the snake away with the stick.
Right ✅️ I'm going to visit Red Rock 🪨 next week. P.S. I have some really nice drone video 📹 of Frank Slide on my YT channel.

Nanton has great shops, I always stop there and wander on my way south. Love this Province...came from west coast 25 years ago and never looked back
And tour in Nanton a Historic Grain Elevator which is very educational and Interesting.
Amazing antique shops there!
I've been to both Horseshoe and Horsethief Canyons. Stunning scenery!

just ran into three sisters, about 60, all from Frank. My God they're hot. Justanotherrreason to visit s. Alberta!
Lundbreck Falls is always a nice stop for us, especially after picking up donuts from Bootsma Bakery in Lethbridge. Also a nice hike up The Miners' Path in Coleman.
On the main drag in Waterton Park in summer, it is common to see a bull elk settled down on the lawn just feet from the sidewalk. Being massive in size, [ weighing 392 - 1029 lbs.] sporting a huge rack of antlers, they don't seem to scare stupid tourists who approach them as if they are tame. It adds excitement to their vacation being nearly gored or stomped to death. Enjoyed your travelog. Thanks.

Common to see Mule deer, not elk.
Waterton has a heard of over 1,000 elk but they do not entre the town site.

I did go visit and got some video, but the wind was so strong the audio was useless and the camera on the gimble was too shaky. I will go next year.
Agreed and I have to admit that the displays and the way it's set up is second to none.
I've lived in Southern Alberta my entire life.... I'll say that I have been to all of these places at least once in my life! I'm surprised you didn't do Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump
I did. Sadly, the wind was so bad the audio was horrible and wind blew camera so much is was shaky.
Excellent work, vey interesting, and I have visited many of these places. Some are very surreal for sure....👍
What a great video of amazing places in Alberta that few people outside of the province know about.
Thank you!

Waterton for Easter in 1959. We were from Windfall, Alberta so it was a lot more warm than home, only minus 30 below.
Red Rock Coulee in Orion, Alberta is also cool. Huge spherical red rocks

#1 YOU MISSED THE MEDICINEHAT BADLANDS GUARDIANS GEOGLYPHS SITE! it's on the opposite side of medicinehat from red rock Coulee , aka the ne not the sw. every site especially waterton is epic. i visited every site you've highlighted in this video, in my Badlands tour last summer
lundbreck falls is awesome, and home to the Alberta Dukhabours
you literally covered half of the epic sites i explored last summer! writing on stone park is next level
Thanks! I will check it out this summer
Great video on Southern Alberta. Just a friendly add for you about Kananaskis Country. The paved highway pass you referred to as “Highland Pass” on Highway 40 and changing name to Highway 541 at the summit of the pass is more correctly call the “Highwood Pass”. I very much enjoyed you video log and narration . Thanks for compiling it.
Thank you!!
Could have done a long detailed Skit on Cypress Hills like the Kananaskis one, they aren't just hills there are many Small Mountains and large hills that go above 750metres and a huge 12km wide by 50km long Forest that just pops out of the badlands like Red Rock which is just 15 minutes away from the Park, the Cypress Hills are like Southern Alberta's and Saskatchewan's own little Appalachian Region. The City of Medicine Hat is also way more beautiful and full of Coulees and hills stretch out the Mid-Size City of about 85,000 ppl including RedCliff and Dunmore over an area that's the size of a more Urbanized Mid-Sized City like Lethbridge&Coaldale (a total of about 105,000) but coaldale is 10km outside of Lethbridge and many Businesses have been built in a couple new Industrial Parks between Coaldale and Lethbridge that ended up doing very good and a new Street Light Crossing was built on the Highway 3 Turnoff to the rapidly expanding Broxburn Industrial Park, which makes Coaldale and Lethbridge 5km apart once they move the City Sign and I'm Sure they will. The Indian Battle Park River Coulee trails that seperate East and West Lethbridge are beautiful parks and trails, however I prefer Medicine Hat as you get Coulees and Hills and the best City/Nature walking trails between EVERY neighborhood. It's paradise and 30 mins to Cypress and Red Rock. However my favorite Mid Size Urban City is Red Deer (125,000) and it has a vibrant DT.
I'll be making a Cypress Hills video that includes the center and east block in Saskatchewan.
Beautiful video! Thank you so much! I watch a video called Candice and Jordan Camille Horsemanship and they mentioned Alberta so I came!❤️😀
Great info but I would definitely add Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump. Amazing facility, history and you can walk out to the jump site.
Great idea! I will do that next
Great video! Very informative ❤
THank you!
Nicely done!
Great job! In the Kananaskis, the pass that you mention is the “Highwood Pass”, not Highland Pass. Opens each year around June15 until October 15th. It is also the highest paved road in Canada!
Thanks for letting me know :)
Thank you this was truly informative and Alberta looks beautiful ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
This just popped up as a suggestion and I loved it! We visited Jasper and Banff years ago but it's obvious we need to go back. What gorgeous places! When I was a child, I visited Waterton with my parents but would love to go back. (Please note I have paid attention and will go after Canadian Thanksgiving...no thank you to the rattlesnakes!!). Thanks so much for sharing these places with us!
Thanks for watching!
I hunt 30 minutes from red rock coulee and the land out there is just gorgeous
Writing on stone has Rattle snake and they are numerous. While campong there a snake decided it wanted to move into my brothers tent. Park ranger was kind enough to move it along. The good thing about Rattle snakes is they will warn you if you are getting to close.
Thank goodness!
Bar U Ranch is also a cool place to visit. They have a bunch of activities you can partake in. It’s worth a visit.
I will check it out!
Very helpful video - thank you
You're welcome!
There are many other places in Alberta beside Banff and Jasper that are just as stunning if not more with much less people. I can remember the last time family came to visit me and wanted to go see Lake Louise. The crowd and lack of parking lesser the experience like most places tourists hear about before coming to Alberta. Most other places mostly unknown from tourist in the rockies are more enjoyable and just as pretty in my opinion if you don’t mind camping.
I would have included Head-Smashed-in-Buffalo-Jump and the Last Chance Saloon in Wayne (Drumheller area).
Wayne is awesome
Missed an absolute gem - Dry Island Buffalo Jump provincial park. Easily one of the most beautiful spots in all of Alberta
Next time!
I would love to go explore all these places 💫
I hope you do!
Makes me wanna go there!
You should!
My fav place in Kananaskis is Forgetmenot Pond. ❤
Great video thanks
There’s also cactus around Drumheller, which is super rare in Alberta
You missed Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump. This is a Native exhibit near the Crowsnest Pass and Fort McLeod in Southern Alberta.
Its a Unesco World Heritage site
Its right off 785 west of Ft.McLeod and south west of Nolan
Ski trails were omitted. That is a lure to Kananaskis and the lovely Canmore Nordic Centre.
I lived in Medicine Hat for 8 months, I should've gotten out more. Very cool geography!
The area around Medicine Hat is fun!
There's a place in Kananaskis , 15 minutes west of Bragg Creek called the Canyon Creek Ice cave. It is has a wall of ice at the back which is there throughout the entire year.. If you haven't been there, I would recommend it!
Oh wow thank you! I will go there.
Crazy I’ve been to all of these places. I was unfortunate enough to run into a rattler in writing on stone when I was about 8, just missed my shoe. They camouflage really well with leaves
Oh no a rattler! Ha ha I saw a woman who just saw one there once, that was better than seeing the snake.
