The magnificent green waters of Lake Louise and Moraine Lake in Alberta.  Breathtaking ...

Answer 2

I LOVE Canada.  When I got out of college, my best friend and I bought a Volkswagen van and drove completely across the country, from Nova Scotia to Vancouver Island (we didn't go to Newfoundland and I regret that to this day, but maybe sometime I'll have the chance).  I still tell many stories of that trip.

Let's see.  Way at the end of Cape Breton Island is an old French fort that's been rebuilt, Louisberg (I might be spelling it wrong).  Fascinating.  Canada has these historical recreations that are really outstanding.  We don't have them here in the US 'cos we spend all our money killing people in third world countries.

Nova Scotia itself, in fact the whole region of the Maritimes, is a trip.  It's like a separate country.

Niagra Falls is something you have to see at least once in your lifetime.

Quebec City.  Old French town made completely of stone, the streets and buildings made of the same stone, the city surrounded by a wall like a medieval town.

Montreal.  My favorite city in the whole world.  Its like New York City except without the bums and the smell of urine everywhere.

The prairies. Now this isn't exactly a tourist attraction, but crossing the plains is an adventure.  It's like crossing an ocean.  The land is completely flat and you see a little bump on the horizon. You drive all day and when you get there its' a little town with a grain elevator, a gas station, a general store.  You fill up with gas and get back in the car and there's another little bump on the horizon.  This goes on for days and days, and finally you see the Rockies looming in the distance.  (Sadly, with the price of gas these days, I don't think people would do this anymore.  A train journey across the prairies would be nice, but not the same.)

The Rockies.  There's a highway that goes from Jasper to Banff that is spectacular.  Banff is like Aspen, it's touristy and cosmopolitan.  Jasper is smaller and more rugged.  The Whistler's Mountain cable car is a must.  It goes to the top of a mountain where you feel like you're on top of the world.

From Calgary to Vancouver there is a main highway, but there's another route someone suggested to us that goes through the mountains and forests.  It takes a little longer but the scenery is just great.  It goes through Glacier Nat'l Park, and I believe also through the Okanagan Valley, a beautiful place with fruit orchards and a nice lake.

Vancouver used to be a great city but it has gotten crowded and 'Manhattanized'.  I think this happened around the time of the world's fair in 1986.  But the same thing happened to San Francisco.  I always thought Vancouver was like a little San Francisco.

Finally there's Victoria, on Vancouver Island.  You get on a ferry and have dinner in a restaurant with windows on three sides.  The ferry threads between islands of beautiful vacation homes.  Victoria is like a little English town.  You can drive up the east coast of the island through little resorts and sunny beaches, and between them is beautiful forest.

I'm sure there is more, but these are the highlights as I see them.

Answer 3

VANCOUVER.

It is freaking gorgeous!

& Halifax :D

Answer 4

Niagara Falls.

It's such a tourist thing that I wasn't expecting to be impressed.

Now we always watch the faces of our visitors as they stare open-mouthed at the American Falls, then come around the corner to see the Horseshoe Falls.
