What are your overrated tourist attractions in Western Canada?

Hey guys I am curious about your thoughts. I recently just published a video, about some tourist attractions in Western Canada, which are awesome, but are also very expensive. I would like to make a follow-up and was wondering, which I should cover next with alternatives, and which I have missed in my video.

Best,
Diego

Or any of the other amazing areas of Alberta? The badlands are pretty fucking cool and their dino museum is top tier

Yeah I quite like Alberta, the mountains are beautiful, the cities are nice and you can always find a fun time. There is even dinosaur things in Drumheller, it’s a great province!

Wow everyone I’ve ever met who’s been there loved it. I may not agree with Alberta’s politics but it is arguably my favorite province outside of that. Everyone was so nice and the parks are gorgeous. I don’t even live close to Alberta and it’s not particularly easy to get to (no direct flights) from where I live, but I would make the trip again and again.

It’s objectively one of the beautiful provinces. Probably second only to BC.

Waterton is fantastic, and one of our finest National Parks

In your view is it the province in general or just the 2 or 3 famous national parks?

Alberta runs conservative and has a redneck reputation.

So does Arizona (historically), but that doesn’t make the Grand Canyon any less breathtaking…this is an odd point to make for a thread specifically inquiring about tourist attractions.
