I'm a Chicagoan, but visiting Alberta at the moment. We started off in Calgary, which has a decent downtown. Then we moved on to Canmore. We've visited the Banff area (Sulphur Mountain, Lake Louise, Johnston Canyon, Grassi Lakes), and a brief trip into BC for Marble Canyon. How beautiful! We've seen several elk, and just a short glimpse of a black bear.
I saw a few FR-S' in Calgary, but none in Canmore/Banff. You guys can have some really scenic drives here.
