Calgary, Canada’s fifth largest city, is located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers. It is often a jumping off point for many who come to explore Banff and the Canadian Rockies In addition to natural attractions, Calgary also hosts many cultural and athletic events. The large open spaces make Calgary and surroundings excellent place to experience the long days and extended twilights of the summer solstice.
