A Fun Road Trip Weekend in Alberta

#northamericatrip Pack your snacks and your sense of adventure—it’s time for a weekend road trip through Alberta! With jaw-dropping landscapes, quirky roadside stops, and more photo ops than your phone storage can handle, this trip is going to be one for the books. Start your journey in Calgary, grabbing a coffee strong enough to fuel your road trip spirit. Head west toward the Rockies, where Banff greets you with mountain peaks so stunning, you’ll start questioning why you don’t live here. Stretch your legs at Lake Louise—because who doesn’t love a giant, mirror-like lake surrounded by Instagram-worthy views? Bonus: the drive makes you feel like you’re living in a car commercial. Next, hit the Icefields Parkway, a road so scenic it feels like cheating. Stop at Peyto Lake, but be warned—it’s so turquoise, people might think you Photoshopped your pictures. Keep driving until you hit Jasper, where you can take a selfie with a mountain goat (from a distance!) or try to spot a bear without panicking. If you’re feeling ambitious, detour to Drumheller for some dinosaur vibes. Walk among hoodoos, channel your inner archaeologist, and try not to hum the Jurassic Park theme song out loud. End your weekend with a sunset at Sylvan Lake or a leisurely stroll in Edmonton’s River Valley. Alberta road trips are all about surprises, laughter, and the joy of adventure—so buckle up, turn up the tunes, and let Alberta’s wild charm win you over!
