Explore. Experience. Engage.  Alberta, Canada  Date of Trip:
June 2001  The Calgary Airport is very nice. I'm not sure if
it's still there, but keep an eye out when you land and are
taxiing down the runway-- there's an oil rig pumping that has a
statue of a bucking bronco and a cowboy riding it as a tribute
to the big rodeo there every year. It's cute. Once you get off
the plane, you will stand in line at the custom's counter. Make
sure you have your passport!!!!   My Faves Alberta, Canada is my
favorite place in the world! I've been there twice in the summer
and once in the winter, though several years ago now. There are
SO many sights to see, it's hard to name any in particular. Lake
Louise and Moraine Lake (Valley of the Ten Peaks) are
spectacular.  Icefields Parkway  Jasper -- Spirit Island on
Maligne Lake For some reason, my heart belongs to Spirit Island
on Maligne Lake in Jasper. We bought our tickets for the Maligne
Lake boat ride at the Jasper Park Lodge. Unfortunately, you only
get to actually stop
