While many dread the thought of being stuck in a car or plane with their family for an uncomfortably extended period of time, it's hard to deny that some of the best memories are made this way. Canada is an excellent place to create some of these memories. And with either a passport or passport card, obtained by downloading your USA passport application forms online, you and your family can experience it for yourself.

Alberta is a Canadian province located directly north of Montana. With the Rocky Mountains, the beautiful meadows, and the untamed Badlands, you can expect your vacation to be full of adventure and discovery.

Calgary and Edmonton are two of the most well known cities in Alberta and will leave none of your urban desires unfulfilled. You many recall that Calgary was the site of the Winter Olympics but opportunities for shopping and dining as well as visits to museums are abundant. Edmonton is the capital of Alberta and is known as the “Festival City” of Canada. A visit to this seat of government will show you why it is called the Festival City. Can you say fun, fun, fun? Shopping, dining, and nightlife opportunities are abundantly present and ready for your enjoyment.

The Badlands of Alberta are home to the Midland Provincial Park. Known as a superb archeological dig, an abundant number of fossils populate this area which was once dedicated to coal mining. The Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology is also found here along with an array of fossils and old mine shafts. Hiking and water sports can be enjoyed as well as personal exploration.

The beautiful expansive meadows and terrain of this beautiful country make horseback riding a perfect way to enjoy the beauty of the vistas while enjoying the company of family and friends. If you are a little more of an adventurer, you might want to try some mountain climbing or white water rafting. This province really has it all from mountains to lakes, castles to be explored and paths to be explored. The awesome terrain coupled with the hustling cities provides everything any vacationer could ever want.

If you decide to Travel to Alberta, you may be very surprised at how much this Canadian province has to offer you. If you are going to drive, a passport card is all that is necessary but if flying, get your U.S. passport application forms filled out because you won’t want to delay. No matter your need, renewal or expedited American passport pages, they are easily available by logging on to one of the online passport sites so go to your computer and get started. The beauty of Alberta is waiting for you.
