Alberta South Ecotourism Lodges, Nature Retreats, and Resorts

Not far from the mountains, to the east, you'll find Alberta's grasslands, or prairie. This is big sky country where you'll be presented with unforgettable scenic vistas. Nature lovers will have the opportunity to observe the peregrine falcon, swift fox and, if you're lucky, the burrowing owl. The waterfalls, clear streams, lakes, wildflowers, ridges and mountains will invariably be yours alone to appreciate.
