Edmonton Vacation & Tourism Guide
photo by Michelle and Susan
The natural beauty of Edmonton is prominently displayed in the deep, wide North Saskatchewan River Valley that winds through the city center. Edmonton's downtown overlooks the north bank of this picture-perfect river. Its stately Old Strathcona historic, shopping, and entertainment district and the University of Alberta overlook the south bank. As Edmonton has grown, it has remained a place of beauty and prosperity. For ease of access, phenomenal natural beauty, and a wide variety of year round activities for the entire family, Edmonton is unsurpassed.
