Car free in the Rockies

Living car-free is a central part of life in Calgary for many. Yet, despite Calgary’s proximity to the Rocky Mountains, regional transit options remain limited, a core challenge for Calgarians wanting to explore their own backyard. Welcome to Car free in the Rockies, my repository dedicated to exploring Alberta’s Rocky Mountains from Calgary without needing to own a vehicle. While it’s not as straightforward or easy as it should be, hiking, scrambling, snowshoeing, mountaineering, and more are possible (and sometimes surprisingly accessible) from Calgary without needing to own a vehicle.
