Alberta is ruggedly beautiful and full of places you might want to visit on your own, like Banff or Jasper National Park, many world renown lakes, Lethbridge in the heart of the agriculture region, there is even the Canadian Badlands.  Either visit these before or after the Summit. We just don’t recommend staying in Calgary before the Summit because that would be the peak of the Stampede and costs reflect that.  Start your plans at https://www.travelalberta.com/us/
