Calgary—The Stampede City

The beautiful landscapes, the innocent country life and festivals, the romance of ivory white snow covered lands, the enchanting rockies and the luke warm chinook winds in Calgary offer enough imagery for Wordsworthian poetry.

Calgary, popularly known as “the Stampede City”, is a city in the province of Alberta, Canada. Calgary, located in southern Alberta and south of Edmonton, at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers, is the largest city in the province. It is also called ‘Gateway to the Rockies’ for being situated in a region of foothills and high plains, approximately 80 km east of the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies.
