Calgary, Canada
t.dave loves Calgary because A beautiful, modern city in Western Canada. Easily one of the cleanest cities in North America too. Very peaceful and friendly- and Banff is near by with some of the most pristine Rocky Mountains you can see. Great spot for a nice relaxing vacation.

What is Calgary
Calgary , a city in Alberta, Canada, lies where the prairies end and the foothills begin. As such, it is the eastern gateway to the Rocky Mountains and an important centre of trade and tourism for the western prairies. It is your most likely point of access for Banff and Jasper, and a worthwhile destination in its own right. With a population of about 1.1 million, Calgary is also the hub of the country's fifth largest metropolitan area and the largest between Vancouver and Toronto.

Try to get there during the Calgary Rodeo. Especially with kids.

17th ave is a great spot for restaurants and shopping during the day, and clubbing at night. The Calgary Stampede is their main outdoor event during the summer. Very fun if you have kids, or like to entertain your 'inner' kid! Try and make it in the summer- the winters can be extremely cold!
