4 hour drive from Calgary. Need multiple days to visit and enjoy all it has to offer. Otherwise, if you are pressed for time, you can do a day trip- leaving Calgary around 5am and just drive for a day the iconic Icefields Parkway (Highway 93)- one of National Geographic's Drives of a lifetime- It truly is spectacular!

https://www.waterton.ca/ - Approximately 3 hour drive from Calgary. You only need a day or two to see Waterton's top attractions unless you are doing some hikes. It's a lot smaller and less grand than Banff but it's still definitely worth a visit.
It's incredible to see how the mountains rise from the prairie. As you approach Waterton, you'll be amazed at how the rolling prairies of Alberta meet the stunning Rocky Mountains!
