A little bit of uphill hiking, but still manageable for young kids 5 years and older. You get to see a very nice view of Canmore and a pristine lake at the end.

The slogan "The Greatest outdoor show on earth" says it all, kinda. Lots of cowboys, cowgirls, rodeos, midway rides, carnivals, people, animals, food, mini-donuts, alcohol, rain and hail. If you're in Calgary early July, you should really spend a day at the Stampede ground and let it soak in. It's one of those that you need to experience to see what all the fuss is about.

Ski, Snowboard, everything winter in the Rockies!
Sunshine has the best natural snow you can ever ask for within close proximity of Calgary. It is situated in a valley with most natural snow dump through the years. Very family friendly and still offer advanced level with challenging slopes. This is MY go-to slope for any day and any weather.
