12 Instagrams of Alberta Like You’ve Never Seen it Before

Alberta, Canada is one of the most naturally spectacular places on earth. Boasting the majestic Rocky Mountains, shimmering glacial lakes and the dry, historic landscape of the Badlands, Alberta’s topographic tapestry is woven together by a terrain that is as diverse as it is beautiful.

But you’ve probably grown accustomed to seeing the same locations in Alberta shot over and over again. Lake Louise is gorgeous, there’s no question about that. But there’s so much more to see! So I’ve scoured Instagram to find some of the best photos of this incredible province, that show off some of the other landscapes that you may not have seen before! These are 12 of my favorite Instagrams of Alberta:

Roaming around the Badlands at just the right time.

Those long days are slowly coming to an end but I'm looking forward to replacing them with a snowy winter.

{View to a Kill} A long night of Aurora chasing last night with mixed results. On one hand, cloudy weather obscured most of the show for the evening, but when life gives you clouds, make cloud-on-ade. Light pollution from the nearby cities of Edmonton and Sherwood Park bounced off the clouds nicely for some incredible colors with a two minute long exposure here.

It's fair to say that I had a pretty wild imagination when I was a kid. To be able to turn that imagination into reality as an adult has been one of the most incredible journeys

It's the weekend! Get out there, make some new friends, try something you have never done before & make it one to remember! Enjoy! ✌?

THANK YOU for the overwhelming birthday wishes! I don't think I can get back to them all. It turned out to be an awesome day and it is so nice to be back home in Edmonton. In reality, if it wasn't for you guys, and every little like and comment and shout out and following, I actually wouldn't be able to do this and take photos for a living. I can never thank each of you enough.

We have the sun. Be nice to one another and you'll get it back. You have until daybreak. Tag someone who you are going to be nice to.

It's the one place I can actually stop and just 'be'. In front of a late night campfire. #explorealberta #kananaskis #startrails #meditate #nightsky #camping #totescanadian #toqueandcanoe #braggcreek #canadiancreatives

At about 15 out of our 28 kilometer descent from Assiniboine we came across one of the most serene lakes. I quickly set up my camera for a long exposure as the conditions were perfect, grabbed my frame and not long after was greeted by rain. It was one of those "moments" as I like to say where no planing can equate to it. Needless to say I know why the call it Marvel Lake. #capturerad
