Island Lake Provincial Recreation Area (nice lake, Pincher Creek, near Crow's Nest Pass.<BR><BR>Bow River Campground, in Bow Valley Provincial Park, just east of Canmore.<BR><BR>Crescent Falls Provincial Recreation Area, on Highway 11, east of Jasper National Park.<BR><BR>Waterton Resorvoir Provincial Recreation Area, off Highway 5, east of Waterton Lakes National Park.<BR><BR>Payne Lakes Provincial Recreation Area, east of Carway<BR><BR>Here is a nice Web site for Alberta campgrounds: http://www.discoveralberta.com/Maps/...mpgrounds.html

Writing on Stone Provincial Park by Milk River is very interesting. Lots of HooDoos and ancient drawings. Good tours and the park has shower facilities. Lundbreck Falls near the Crowsnest Pass. Lovely with lots of great day trips to places such as The Frank Slide and Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump and Fort Macleod Museum. <BR><BR>When are you travelling? We are in a flood condition right now in Southern Alberta. The Milk River (where writing on stone is) is very high. Waterton is in a mess. We need a few weeks for cleanup and to get things back to normal.

anyone been to gull lake recently? how's that?

My pick is finding Yamnuska Mountain (kananaskis) and camping at the base (it's free...and rugged - no services).
