Calgary · Canada · Calgary

A stampede every July that turns the whole city into a rodeo for ten days straight, the Rockies close enough to see from downtown on a clear day, and a jumping-off point for ski towns most visitors never get past.

The best time to visit Calgary is Jun–Aug, or Dec–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 22°C (72°F). Local time there is 04:34 (UTC-6).
