Don’t get us wrong – we’ll still probably go Don’t get us wrong – we’ll still probably go to one Stampede event…

But more often than not, we choose the mountains when the city is busy — hiking, camping, or backpacking.

After checking out @Bignature.adventures ‘s Banff Big 3 Sightseeing Tour last weekend…

We thought this might be the PERFECT addition (or alternative) to the Stampede craze.

If you need a break to breathe some fresh mountain air…

…or know someone visiting Calgary or Alberta who wants to see what all the fuss is about…

Trade your cowboy boots for hiking shoes to spend a full day exploring 3 iconic Canadian lakes, plus the 2nd tallest waterfall in Canada!

We had SO much fun visiting these gorgeous spots close to home, and meeting new people from the @parksofcalgary community! 10 was the perfect group size.

No driving. No parking stress. Just a local guide, glacier-fed lakes, and jaw-dropping views. ⁠⁠

With pick-ups and drop-offs in Calgary, Canmore, Banff or Lake Louise, this might be the EASIEST way to escape the city chaos and soak up the mountains.

Check out @BigNature.Adventures for their Banff Big 3 Sightseeing Tour — highly recommend!

Thoughts on the plan to pave this lot and start ch Thoughts on the plan to pave this lot and start charging for parking? 💭⁠
⁠
No surprise if you’ve parked on the north side of Edworthy Park — this lot is rough in all the ways: potholes, drainage issues, dust… you name it.⁠
⁠
Still, that’s never stopped people. It’s usually packed on warm summer days.⁠
⁠
It’s also one of just 7 official Park & Bike sites in the city — helping Calgarians skip downtown parking fees, get some movement in, and explore Calgary’s beautiful river pathway system.⁠
⁠
So... would paving and paid parking change how you use Edworthy Park?⁠
