Calgary in the summer?

Visited our son in Calgary in November for a week. Drove up to Baniff and Lake Louise which were very very nice. Temps in Lake Louise were -17C mid Feb! Calgary itself was very nice, considering things are so flat out that way.

I lived in Edmonton for 8 years and always enjoyed our trips to Calgary. They were always on the way to Canmore and Banff (or Big Sky/Whitefish). Both places worthy of a day or two. And the Icefields Parkway which is often totally snowed in during the winter. Heading west Radium, Fairmont, Golden the list is endless. Do this as a sampler and then return for a couple of months to do it all justice. We once rented a motorhome and did Glacier International Peace Park in November. It was magical.

We now live between Vancouver and PV but please plan to spend a couple of weeks in Vancouver and area and another week in Victoria and area. You will not regret it. And don't forget the Gulf Islands and the San Juan Islands for another couple of weeks...

It's a done deal! The missus has completed the exchange of our timeshare usage for a week in a Banff resort this summer. We have been to Vancouver and Vancouver Island quite a few times, but never to the Canadian Rocky Mountain.

I now have to fill in more details for the trip plan. We will also definitely spend time in the US Glacier NP. It is going to be a groovy summer, even though we will not go to Alaska this year.

Life is great!
