Flying first to Calgary to attend a wedding. So the first weekend will be full of that and some family time. Using my sisters place as home base, but will probably venture out to Edmonton for a few nights. Then on Saturday June 21 will fly to Saskatoon and stay there till 02 July!!

Anyone have any suggestions for Edmonton and Calgary? Might hit banff, but I find downtown Banff very touristy, and just full of tourist shops, so not sure if its worthwhile. I was there last summer. And of course in Edmonton, one has to check out the West edmonton mall!! probably our only reason to going there,lol As well i visited the Calgary zoo last summer, so i know it exists! I have spent some time in Calgary,but was usually spent in the bars,lol Surprisingly Thrifty had the cheapest car rental places! Tim Hortons here I come

i am so jealous! i've been out west in a couple of years now

i agree with you on Banff. i would suggest skipping it all together and going to Canmore. last I was there, it wasn't touristy at all, but i hear it's getting more popular. i remember a great chocolate shop and a super bike shop with a juice counter. the fellows at the shop were great and even sent two guys with my friend and i for a day of mountain biking. don't remember the name of the spot, but we rode up to a lake that was just as nice as the one in Banff, just minus the hotels and tourists.

Now you know why they call it, "The Badlands."

I am sure you will find plenty to do, but you have to go on the drop zone ride at "THE MALL" lol

I have done it before!! As well as the roller coaster. Im thinking Edmonton will be a 1 night thing! We were going to stay at the west edmonton mall hotel, in 1 of the theme rooms, but not worth the $350 a night charge! Especially when we can stay free at the nearby Hilton (hilton points) Thinking of touring around Calgary for a day or two, edmonton, maybe canmore. We shall see
