Wild & Wonderful Calgary, Alberta, Canada - Wolf Dogs, Great Food and Urban Fun

Calgary surprises as more than just a gateway to the Rockies in this adventure-packed episode. We start at the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary, where rescued wolfdogs roam vast enclosures, offering an intimate glimpse into these magnificent creatures' lives. The experience continues with an adrenaline rush at the summer dog carting trails, where teams of energetic dogs pull specially designed carts through scenic paths – proving dog sledding isn't just a winter sport.

In a powerful cultural connection, we join Indigenous guides for traditional archery lessons, learning about the spiritual significance of the bow while practicing this ancient skill against the backdrop of Alberta's sweeping prairies. But Calgary's wild side perfectly balances with its sophisticated urban offerings.

The city's culinary scene dazzles with farm-to-table restaurants, craft breweries, and the vibrant diverse cuisine. We explore the 1000km pathway system – the most extensive urban network in North America – connecting everything from art installations to hidden coffee shops. Female travelers will appreciate the city's safe, walkable neighborhoods and thriving women-owned businesses, especially in areas like Inglewood and Kensington.

Whether you're seeking outdoor thrills or urban exploration, Calgary proves itself as a dynamic destination where wilderness meets metropolitan charm.
