Wow Tourists with Views! Showing Off Southern Alberta From the Sky

Let’s be honest, Southern Alberta is gorgeous! We’ve got everything from epic Rocky Mountains and cool, weird Badlands to wide-open prairies and beautiful river valleys. But how do you really show people how amazing it is so they actually pack their bags and visit Lethbridge and our surrounding areas?

One word (okay, maybe two): Aerial Shots!

Seriously, nothing grabs attention and sparks that “I wanna go there!” feeling quite like stunning photos and videos taken from a drone. At Coalbanks Creative, we love showing off our beautiful corner of the world from above. Let’s chat about why drone imagery is your secret weapon for boosting tourism around here.

Why Drone Shots are Perfect for Showing Off Southern Alberta:

Our region’s biggest selling point? How stunning it looks! Aerial photos and videos let you capture that beauty like nothing else:

• Show Off ALL Our Awesome Landscapes: Southern Alberta has it all, and drones can capture the epic scale:

  • Those Mountains! Get those jaw-dropping shots of the Rockies that make people dream of hiking boots.
  • The Cool Badlands: Highlight the unique shapes and colours that make places like Dinosaur Provincial Park so otherworldly.
  • Big Sky Country: Show the beauty of our wide-open prairies, especially when the fields turn gold.
  • Winding Rivers: Capture the beauty of the Oldman River snaking through the valley near Lethbridge or our beautiful lakes from a perspective you just can’t get from the ground.

• Make Our Landmarks Look Even Cooler: Aerial views add instant “wow” to our famous spots:

  • Waterton: Those turquoise lakes surrounded by mountains? Drone shots are pure magic and exactly what tourists want to see.
  • Dinosaur Provincial Park: Show just how vast and unique the Badlands are, hinting at the dino treasures within.

• Tell a Better Story: Aerial shots aren’t just pretty; they add context:
