On the East side of the Canadian Rockies. Famous for the Stampede in early June every year, probably the greatest show on earth. Visit Olympic Square every morning the Stampede is on for free breakfast cooked fresh from the back of the "chuck wagons". Each show day includes traditional rodeo in the afternoon and each evening is chuck wagon racing followed by a great stage show and fireworks. Graet value for money. Book tickets on line before you go for great seats at a good price. Stay out of town at Holiday Inn Express and ride the tram in from the nearby station.
