Perched on the western end of expansive Canadian prairies , lined by the Bow River and just 130 miles from the Rocky Mountains , Calgary is steeped in untamed landscapes as well as skyscrapers , steakhouses , and warm Chinook winds . Famous for hosting the Calgary Stampede , the rodeo and festival billed as the “ greatest outdoor show on Earth ,” this sprawling city offers both outdoor adventures and cultural highlights .
Although Calgary supplies excitement all year round , the icy winters that sometimes stretch out through spring make summer the best time to visit . Whether your interests involve Western traditions , indigenous history , foodie and urban explorations or nature excursions , your itinerary will be packed with fun .
