Travel Guide: Calgary - Alberta - Canada

lightning, early 80s lightning, early 80s
Calgary is nestled on the banks of the Bow River where the prairies meet the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. This city of more than one million is just minutes from world class skiing and hiking in the Rockies, outstanding golf in Kananaskis Country and the beautiful scenery of Banff National Park. Take a stroll through the Eau Claire Market and Prince's Island Park. Calgary is also home to the world famous Calgary Exhibition and Stampede. Take a ride to the top of the Calgary Tower. Visit Heritage Park Historical Village, Canada Olympic Park, the Glenbow Museum, and the Calgary Zoo, Botanical Gardens and Prehistoric Park.  Nightlife is best located on 17th Ave SW between 4th St SW and 14th St SW or on various spots on 9th Ave SW (between 8th St SW and 4th St SW).
