School’s out for the summer and a family road trip is calling! Fortunately, you don’t even have to take a long vacation or travel far when you live in Calgary, because we’re surrounded by great parks, destinations, and fun places to explore – even for a weekend or a Sunday afternoon.
Check out some of my family’s favorite places to visit in the summer below:
Spring in Calgary is beautiful, these three walks will take you to blossoming trees and spring flowers.
Things to do in Banff this winter
Visit the Banff Gondola, at night! Night Rise is an interactive winter celebration blending colorful lights, music, and poetic storytelling at the summit of Sulphur Mountain. This fun family-friendly event is back for another winter season and runs nightly through the end of March.
Camping is a great summer activity for the family! It is the perfect opportunity to explore nature, unplug, create memories as a family, and enjoy the beauty of our province and country.
