Canada is a vast country - the second largest country in the world after Russia. Canada encompasses territory from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the high Arctic to the northern border of the continental U.S.A. Although very much a "northern" country the terrain and geography of Canada is very diverse. As well as the popular image of Canada as a country of pristine forests and snowy vistas, there are also deserts and badlands, temperate rain forests and long and wide beaches.
Canada is a hotbed for heart-thumping, adrenaline-pumping action. Geographically, it is the second largest country in the world and accordingly, it offers one of the most diverse landscapes in the world. Canada is known internationally as a world-class skiing and snowboarding destination due to long northern winters, heavy snowfall and a wild assortment of mountains and peaks that span the nation. But the country also offers many other activities that cater to hardcore thrill-seeking individuals. From the tides of the Pacific to the flatlands of the Western Canadian prairies, this enormous country has the right fix for any adrenaline junkie.
The cowboy is a North American icon. From the prairies of Alberta to the ranches of Texas, the boot-kickin’, Stetson-wearin’ man has long been a symbol of the Wild West. Today, such figures can still be spotted across Canada, especially at summer rodeos. Amidst a flurry of chaps and spurs, country music and clowns, rodeo grounds come alive with bucking bulls and barrel-racing horses in a posse of action-packed performances.
