7 Redional Nh 2 OUTDOOR SUPPLEMENT also featuring SUMMER SPORTS WEEK OF MAY 1, 1972 Explore Alberta first This is the year you should make your vaca- tion a stay-at-home holiday and ‘‘Explore Al- berta” first. There are thousands of tourists com- ing to Alberta every summer to take in the Calgary Stampede, Edmon- ton’s Klondike Days, plus dozens of other festivals and celebrations. There’s no. reason why Albertans can’t also par- ticipate in tracing the colorful history of sunny Alberta. Go fishing in the hundreds of lakes and streams, that make up a total of around 6,000 square miles of fresh water in the province, or just get in the car or take a bus and see some of the beauty and historic spots in the pro- vince. The Alberta Government Travel Bureau, 1629 Cen- tennial Building, Edmon- ton, can supply you with a 1972 road map, complete with marked points of interest and a description of them, an automobile tour guide of Alberta with 30 day-tours and five week- tours described and illustrated in the folder. There is also the Alberta Visitor’s Guide, put. out by the Travel Bur- eau. It outlines the various approved motels and hotels in the province, the prices, fishing regulations, border crossings, fishing and hunting lodges, golf courses, parks, camp- grounds and trailer parks, recreational vehicles sewage dumping stations, youth camps, ski lodges and many other items of information that a traveller needs. Alberta is the place for a vacation, All types of geography are found in the province, forests, The Rocky Mountains, with peaks more than 12,000 feet in altitude, and the prehistoric badlands in the central part of the pro- vince, 400 feet below the surrounding prairie land. Let’s take a quick trip through some of the better known areas and see what there is for the outdoor recreationist. The province is a giant plateau which on the aver- age is 2,200 feet above sea level It stretches 756 ‘miles in length, 400 miles in width and contains 255,- 285 square miles.

It has some of the finest grain and cattle land in North America in the south’ and central regions, — it contains 175,000 square miles of productive forest land. And it has The Rocky Mountains running the entire length of its western border which spawn 90 per- cent of all rivers and lakes found on the Canadian prairies, and which also have created thousands of mountain beauty and fish- ing spots attracting tour- ists. Three of Canada’s major mountain National Parks are located in the Alberta Rockies-- Waterton Lakes, Banff and Jasper, all three offering a vast array of scenery for casual walkers and hikers, earnest or amateur climbers and skiers, trail riders, boat excursionists, and tourists on guided sightseeing trips. Accommodation ranges from well-laid-out camp- grounds to the grandeur of the Banff Springs Hotel, a multi-storey. ‘‘castle’’ built more than 60 years ago, ‘the Jasper Park Lodge, which offers the finest. comfort and design of modern and natural architecture, and the equally famous Lake Louise, located 40 miles northwest of Banff at the base of the lake that is described as one of nature’s most beautiful bodies of water in. the world. ; Parks and tourist. cen- tres are easily accessible by excellent highways, by train and bus, and several locations by air. A tour out of Banff will _ include a trip to Emerald Lake via Lake. Louise and Yoho. Valley; the drive from Banff to Jasper, with a stop at the Columbia Icefields; a trip directly to the Col- umbia Icefields and return; and the Mountain Lakes Day Tour which takes in Lake Louise via Johnston Canyon, Moraine.
