The town of Cochrane is located 20 minutes west of Calgary and makes for a great day trip close to the city for a weekend family outing. You’ll experience mountain vibes, fresh air, and country living without having to make a longer drive out to Canmore or Banff.
As you may know, ‘Glamping’ is a term to describe Glamorous Camping; a mashup of camping and staying in a swanky hotel. Glamping offers all the comforts and amenities of home with the enjoyment of creating a sweet family vacation! There are a couple of tent rental companies in Calgary that will do the whole thing for you, but this can be a fun DIY that will keep your kids busy during long summer days (glamping also works as a parents’ retreat!).
Walkabouts in Calgary host awe-inspiring river valleys, an extensive trail network through urban wilds, serenading birdsong, and those trademark big Alberta skies. But there’s more - much, much more! Waterfalls, wildlife, musical gardens, garage art and murals, chickadees that land on your hand, and cafés where hot chocolate and tasty treats await. Let’s walk!
