Calgary is the closest major airport to Banff National Park, so most visitors pass through on their way to the mountains. Banff town is roughly ninety minutes by road, and Lake Louise about forty minutes further on.

The city itself is worth a stop, especially in July when the Calgary Stampede fills ten days with rodeo, chuckwagon races and concerts.
