Strap in for this classic prairie drive. Alberta’s two major cities are connected by Highway 2 which has been renamed the Queen Elizabeth II Highway. This highway is fast, flat and straight! There aren't many suggested stops along the way but the area is filled with important places and times in Alberta’s history. Red Deer marks the halfway point and an opportunity to rest and stretch.
