What used to be a wide expanse of farming and ranching country is now the modern cosmopolitan city of Calgary, Alberta. Residents of Calgary enjoy the best of both worlds: the foothills and Rocky Mountains on one side, open prairies on the other, and a vibrant city life to balance it all off. Stay in a Calgary, Alberta hotel or Bed and Breakfast, and be right at the center of all the activity!
Get on your cowboy boots and explore the surrounding area of Western-style communities such as Bragg Creek, Cochrane and Okotoks, with activities such as fishing, horseback riding, ranching, and farming. These communities share their lifestyle and history with visitors through museums such as the interactive Western Heritage Center in Cochrane where the history of ranching in the region is displayed, and visitors observe calf-roping, branding and sheep shearing. The immensely popular Calgary Stampede is the event of the year, where 173 acres are filled with visitors enjoying shows, chuck wagon racing, games, rodeo activities, shopping, and a midway. Patrons dress in western garb and eat pancake breakfasts in the street before heading off for some good 'ole country fun.
If you're not a cowboy at heart, you will still be impressed with the exciting urban life that Calgary boasts. What used to be a ranching and meat-packing based economy is now a corporate headquarters for the many oil and telecommunications companies that are based in Calgary. This boom in the economy has made Calgary one of Canada's fastest growing cities; in fact, Calgary has been Canada's fastest growing economic region for seven of the last 10 years. Go shopping at Eau Claire Market, check out the Calgary Zoo (Canada's second largest), or the famous Calaway Park (Canada's largest outdoor amusement park). Calgary has its own symphony orchestra and opera company. Book Calgary Alberta accommodations and see what the buzz is about!
