Marilyn and I had a wonderful trip to view the Canadian Rockies which started in Calgary Alberta Canada. Calgary is a city with just over a million people and originally began as a cattle town. That culture still abounds every year with the advent of the annual "Stampede" celebration. The skills and life style of the early cowboys in this part of Canada are celebrated in this event. The "Stampede" draws thousands here and is an important social time for everyone in the city. The city of Calgary now has diversified into a major producer of oil and gas.
The picture above is of our tour guide, Rob White who works for "Tauck" and which both Marilyn and I agree, is the best director we've ever had the pleasure to travel with, on any trip. We've traveled with this company previously in the United Kingdom and also California. They've all been excellent trips, with excellent tour directors; but Rob is the most sociable and knowledgeable director imaginable; he's a walking encyclopedia of history, geology, and traveling experience.
On this trip we were fortunate to experience the city of Calgary, the Many Glacier Park in Montana, Lake McDonald Park in Montana, Lake Louise in Canada, Jasper National Park in Canada, and Banff National Park in Canada.
Thank you Rob, for a wonderful trip!

We had Rob for a Canadian tour a few years ago. He is absolutely the best. He's the standard we judge all TDs by now, and none have been able to compare.
