What's funny, however is how many Calgary residents don't visit the mountains, even once a year. It's the best part of the city, and makes all the miserable driving and overpriced housing worth it, and people just don't take advantage.
I don't go to the mountains regularly, maybe once or twice a year. But growing up in BC it's just reassuring to be able to look outside and see them. Driving on the highways north or east of the city and seeing nothing but flatness ahead always depresses me
