Banff & Other Day Trips
An hour’s drive from Calgary brings you to snow-capped peaks, dinosaur fossil beds, or an afternoon picking saskatoon berries - and you’re back in time for dinner.
Calgary makes day-tripping way too easy. In one direction, there’s Banff National Park with its turquoise lakes and charming mountain towns. In another, dinosaur bones and hoodoos await in Drumheller. Or maybe today’s about goat yoga, berry-picking, and the perfect prairie pie.
