Wealthy Travelers

In the last of this series of Canada vacations, I will highlight other interesting destinations to consider for a visit to Canada.  One of my absolute favorite vacation destinations is Banff, Alberta.  This is a beautiful town nestled in the Canadian Rockies, which is celebrating 125 years of being Canada’s first national park.  When you visit the quaint shops you again feel like you’ve been transported to another time and place.  Banff offers natural sulphur hot springs, a beautiful alpine climate, and a magnficent glacier lake known as Lake Louise.  With its sparkling turquoise waters, Lake Louise sits at the base of the towering Victoria Glacier.  Winter activities include skiing, ice skating and snowmobileing, and fishing, hiking, canoeing and wine tasting in the summer.  You can also experience many cultural activities  in the arts, local events, festivals, and Banff’s history.

Saskatchewan is a Canadian province that offers many cultural attractions including museums and national parks.  Consider visiting the Mendel Art Gallery and the Buffalo Pound Provincial Park.

Manitoba is a wonderful summer destination, with its abundant lakes and resorts, including the locals favorite, Minnedosa Lake. 

When you visit Ontario, you cannot miss visiting Niagra Falls.  There you can see both the Canadian and United States sides of the falls.

And last, but not least, a visit to Canada includes destinations in the furtherest eastern region of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland.  These are Canada’s maritime provinces and offer a very unique experience.  You’ll find many naval centers in Nova Scotia, including Peggy’s Cove, Halifax and Dartmouth.  Prince Edward Island offers views like no others and makes for a memorable vacation visit.
