Cornwall Park and One Tree Hill Sir John Logan Campbell presented the land which was to become Cornwall Park to the government in 1901. Logan died in 1912 and was buried at the top of One Tree Hill, a mound which he was responsible for naming. Aside from the park's historic interest, it is a lovely place to spend time with its spacious parkland areas and grassy slopes offering great opportunities for leisurely walks. One Tree Hill is low enough to be climbed on foot, but it is also possible to drive to the summit. From the top are some great views over the city as well as a large obelisk that was erected as a tribute to the Sky Tower Claiming the title of the tallest tower of its kind in the southern hemisphere, the Sky Tower stands a lofty 1,000 feet high and can be seen from anywhere within the city centre.

Alberta's other major city, Calgary is surrounded by extensive ranching country. Almost 75% of the province's population lives in the Calgary- Edmonton Corridor, in and between the two major cities. The Rocky Mountains along the southwestern boundary are largely forested. The southern quarter of the province is prairie, ranging from shortgrass prairie in the southeastern corner to mixed grass prairie in an arc to the west and north of it. The central aspen parkland region extending in a broad arc between the prairies and the forests, from Calgary, north to Edmonton, and then east to Lloydminster, contains the most fertile soil in the province and most of the population. Much of the unforested part of Alberta is given over either to grain or to dairy farming, with mixed farming more common in the north and centre, while ranching and irrigated agriculture predominate in the south.
