2. Bike
Here in YYC we are blessed with over 700 KM of multiways. Put your feet to the pedals and see where the road takes you! (Patio stops recommended)2. Bike This summer is also a great opportunity to bike to Johnston Canyon. The natural attraction is typically overflowing with visitors but Parks Canada has decided to close the Bow Valley Parkway to all public vehicles for the season. Bike the empty road to the canyon and enjoy the area sans tourists while you can!

4. Float
A classic Calgary summer activity, river floating. Hit up the Elbow if you're looking for a slower pace or choose the Bow for a longer float time and a bit more speed. Head to Canadian Tire and buy your own watercraft Check out The Paddle Station or Lazy Day Raft Rentals for rentals right on the river!While we don't recommend our athletic socks for the actual float itself they are perfect for the walk home.
5. Walk
One of the nicest ways to enjoy a beautiful day in Calgary is walking around the city. Spend the day exploring local shops and patio hopping or grab a coffee and explore one of our wonderful parks.
6. Surf
River surfing is becoming an increasingly popular sport and you can give it a try right in downtown Calgary. 10th Street Wave (next to 10th Street Bridge) is classified as a beginner wave and is the perfect place to learn the basics. When you're ready for a challenge you can head to Kananaskis for even more action.
