I thought this would be a neat thread to explore our province and think of the best and worst places in the province.

My 3 Nicest Places in order:

1.) Longview Region: Beautiful Rocky mountains in this wild rugged ranching area. I just love the scenery here.

2.) Kananaskis Country: A little too busy for me, but there are areas you can go where you are alone more or less. The scenery is breathtaking and it's so close to Banff/Canmore and Calgary.

3.) Nordegg Area: Great camping, and fairly isolated. Great country to enjoy nature.

Nicest City: Calgary, setting in beautiful foothills and a beautiful downtown core.


My 3 worst places in order:

1.) Wainwright: There is nothing good about this place. Ugly setting, dirty oil town and I find it very unfriendly and depressing.

2.) Fort McMurray/ Oilsands area: It is actually very nice by nature, lakes, streams and forest lend itself to a nice setting. However, the land has been ravaged and it's a very dirty expensive place. Not a fan.

3.) Brooks area: Wide open nothingness and and ugly town as well. Lake Newell is kind of endearing but not enough to make up for this armpit of Alberta.

What does everyone else think?
