In Edmonton, we did a lot of interesting stuff. Located at 53 degrees N and 113 degrees W, Edmonton is a big city. It has a population density of about 1067 people/km squared. There are plains and rivers everywhere. It was humid and warm, but it gets SUPER COLD in the winter. It is located in the Boreal Plains.
We went to another national park(surprise, surprise), called Elk Island. Afterward, we visited the West Edmonton Mall. It was amazing. They have everything from an ice rink to an amusement park. We also visited Telus World of Science. As you may have guessed, Edmonton makes TONS of cash from tourism, as well as oil and gas. We were sad to leave, but we had to move on to the last leg of our journey.

Vancouver
Vancouver is located at 49 degrees N and 123 degrees W. 578000 people live here, with 5335 people/sq km. We swam in the Pacific Ocean and, as you may have guessed, we visited Mount Revelstoke National Park. It was temperate and dry.
A lot of money is made with forestry, tourism, mining and fishing. We went skiing and even visited the Olympic Stadium. We were disappointed when we left, as leaving signified the end of our trip. But all good things must come to an end, and that includes cross canada road trips, even those that are made of win. And besides, we were glad to see our family and friends.

Special Thanks
A BIG thanks to Wikipedia for all the info.
Also, I'd like to thank the most awesome, lovable object in the universe, my brain, for all the memories of Edmonton that I relied on.
