Canadian Rockies Sept 2-10, 2012
We're excited about our trip to Canadian Rockies & Glacier NP in Sept. We'll be staying in Calgary a day before as well as a day after the trip. Any suggestions on things to see / do that will not duplilcate Tauck's tour? Thanks.

Just down the road from the Fairmont Palliser where you'll be staying is the Glenbow Museum. It's a really excellent museum.
And right next door to the hotel is the Calgary Tower. I can't vouch for the experience. I got dizzy just looking up at it! I settled for the postcard!
Cheers,

True, but the payoff is the string of Fairmonts that start with Lake Louise. My personal favourite is the Fairmont, Jasper Park Lodge. I've been there twice and I could stay there forever ... well, until winter. Possibly. Okay, not really for ever. I don't think you can get Vegemite in Jasper. It would be a very long Take Out from ? Whistler? Surely Vancouver ... Maybe a month would do the trick.
WE TOO ARE ARRIVING A DAY EARLY AND ON THE SEPT 2ND TOUR. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING UP ATTRACTIONS AND HAVE SOME IDEA OF USING THE FREE DAY-IF WEATHER PERMITS. THE FORT CALGARY AND THE HERITAGE PARK HISTORICAL VILLAGE SOUND INTERESTING. THERE IS ALSO A SAT. FARMER'S MK. WE ARE NOT CITY PEOPLE NEED guidance!
Thanks for the suggestions. We're really excited about our upcoming trip. We hope the weather is good - then anything is possible. Just FYI I believe the welcome dinner is at Heritage Park.
Thanks - I'll check out both. The Tower especially sounds intriguing!
Cheers,
Jan
