Canada, eh?
We visited Calgary, Alberta in October, 2007. There is a lot to do in the city and in surrounding areas. There are a variety of tourist attractions, with the Rockies just off to the west...and the Badlands just east of town. Below are some pictures and descriptions of what we experienced.
Here are a few extra shots, starting with another look at Calgary.
