Whether you are looking to go hiking, spotting wildlife, skiing, canyoneering... you can find it in Jasper in winter.

Whoever thought that a winter city trip to Edmonton would be a cool thing to do? Me neither until lately I discovered a whole different side of this city when visiting in February.

Did you know there are plenty opportunities to spot wildlife in Alberta in winter? Although all bears are obviously having their winter sleep and there are less birds in winter, you are still able to spot lots of animals in Alberta, like elk, deer, moose, goats, bighorn sheep, coyotes, wolves, owls, birds, bison and the elusive lynx and cougar or mountain lion. Therefore, I would recommend spotting wildlife as one of the best things to do in Alberta in winter.
