Description
Alberta is the land of big skies, big dreams and sometimes just plain big, weird things. For example, the province is home to the world's largest manmade waterfall, the world's largest beaver, a gopher museum where stuffed rodents are dressed up like people,a complete mock-up of the Starship Enterprise and a Star Trek station, and a stretch of highway specially designed to help salamanders cross the road.
