Calgary combines metropolitan flair with brash western charm. Situated on the Bow River and flanked by the stunning Canadian Rockies, the city was once inhabited by native tribes and that rich cultural history reverberates throughout the city. Equally impressive is July's not-to-be missed Calgary Stampede, a bold celebration of the city's cowboy roots. Just a short drive from Calgary, discover the mystery of Drumheller, an extraordinary natural wonder. Rolling fields suddenly give way to steep, dry coulees ridged with the strata of hundreds of years of erosion by time, wind and water.
