Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
From our house it is a short walk to Friends, a cozy coffee shop and bakery. Nose Hill Park is a short walk or bike ride away and offers 11 square kilometres of hiking, biking and nature viewing. The world famous Calgary Stampede shouldn't be missed! The stunning Rocky Mountains can be seen from most of our home and gorgeous Banff is just a one hour drive away. The Icefields Parkway highway between Lake Louise and Jasper is considered one of the "not to be missed" drives of the world. Lake Louise and Moraine Lake offer amazing hiking and world famous scenery. World class golfing, fly fishing, hiking, river rafting, shopping and incredible scenery are all nearby.
