Calgary sits in a vast, often brown colored plain in Southern Alberta. The area offers great hiking, kayaking, skiing, water rafting, and camping all around. The city itself is lively, especially during the Calgary Stampede in July, which attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year. The city has a quaint feel, blending modern and vintage atmospheres and decor into a place that has a lot in common with Dallas in the USA. As one of the largest cities in Canada, Calgary doesn't lack of exciting things to do.
