Alberta's Heartland Local Attractions

• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Local Attractions in Alberta's Heartland, Alberta.
The best wines in the world seem to come from temperate, warm places like France, Italy, New Zealand, Australia, South America and California. It sometimes comes as a surprise to people, then, that Canada—often associated with cold, harsh weather patterns—has a booming wine industry that has been producing world-class vintages for decades. Canadian wine has garnered the country international recognition as a producer of fine, award-winning vino.
Despite the early discovery of the Athabasca River as a trade route, its importance as a stepping stone to Canada's North remained unrecognized until the 1870's.
Camping is one of the fastest growing recreational activities. More and more families are packing tent or trailer and heading to one of Alberta’s many provincial parks and campgrounds.
The cowboy is a North American icon. From the prairies of Alberta to the ranches of Texas, the boot-kickin’, Stetson-wearin’ man has long been a symbol of the Wild West. Today, such figures can still be spotted across Canada, especially at summer rodeos. Amidst a flurry of chaps and spurs, country music and clowns, rodeo grounds come alive with bucking bulls and barrel-racing horses in a posse of action-packed performances.
Surprisingly, there is a plethora of unique, unusual and eye-catching landmarks that can be found in every province of Canada. In fact, these often entertaining sights are more likely found in smaller towns, where tourists are lured in to take a picture or buy a trinket of these one-of-a-kind discoveries.
