Hello
I am flying to Calgary on Sept 2. I arrive around 11am. I am planning on renting a car and staying at the Johnson Canyon Resort Sept 2-5, then flying back to Denver on Sept 6. My flight leaves at 11:15.
Any suggestions on where to stay in Calgary? I'm looking for a bduget motel/hotel, perhaps with a hot tub. I was planning on checking out the Olympic Park on my way up to Johnson Canyon on Sept.2. I would like to see something of the city of Calgary if at all possible, maybe the Tower? Not sure if I'll have enough time though. Would it be worthwhile? Should I just get a place near the airport?
Also, I've seen mixed reviews of the Snocat Glacier tour. I don't like crowds so I'm thinking I should just plan on driving to the Athabasca Glacier myself.
One last item, I do have a United States driver's license-do I need anything else to drive a car? I know the speed limit will be in km-any other differences? This is the first time I'll be driving outside the the US.
Thanks much. I can't wait to go. I'm sure it's much prettier than our Rocky Mts here in Colorado.
