Get out of town with these interesting Calgary side-trips: Silvertip Resort (in Canmore), Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary (in Cochrane) and Lake Minnewanka (in Banff). And it doesn't end there: meet the residents at The Calgary Zoo, walk around Prince's Island Park, and explore the world behind art at Glenbow Museum.
