Calgary is the perfect base for exploring some of Canada’s most spectacular destinations by RV. Here are the best things to do near Calgary to kick off your road trip adventure:

• Banff National Park: Just 90 minutes from Calgary, Banff is famous for turquoise lakes, soaring mountain peaks, and abundant wildlife. Hike to Lake Louise, relax in the Banff Upper Hot Springs, or drive the scenic Bow Valley Parkway for breathtaking views. Summer is ideal for hiking and biking; winter brings world-class skiing and snowboarding.
• Kananaskis Country: South of Banff, this rugged wilderness area is a local favorite for hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife viewing—without the crowds. Hike the Troll Falls trail, paddle in Barrier Lake, or spot elk and moose at dawn. There are numerous camping spots where you can immerse yourself in the Canadian Rockies.
• Drumheller & the Badlands: Head east to the land of dinosaurs! Drumheller is home to the Royal Tyrrell Museum and stunning badlands scenery. Hike among hoodoos, hunt for fossils, or explore the unique Atlas Coal Mine Historic Site. Great for families and anyone fascinated by prehistory.
• Canmore: This charming mountain town is just outside Banff National Park. Enjoy local cafes, scenic walks along the Bow River, and easy access to the Three Sisters mountain range. Canmore is ideal for a laid-back day trip or as a quieter alternative to Banff.
• Waterton Lakes National Park: About three hours south, Waterton combines prairie, mountain, and crystal-clear lakes. Take a boat tour on Waterton Lake, hike to Cameron Falls, or look for bears and bighorn sheep. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Alberta’s hidden gems.
